Ryan Dahl introduces Deno 2 [video]

Been a while since I looked at Deno. This does look much improved. I’ve been enjoying Bun lately, but I’ll have to give Deno another try.

Anyone using it in production? If so, how’s 2.0 treating you?

Not in production, but for my hobby programming, Deno 2 is not a big change from Deno 1. Then again, I try to avoid dependencies, so I don’t see the effects of better npm support.

I’m optimistic about jsr.io and hope more people will use it.

Note this is pretty old, October 9, 2024

Tl;dr - from the website (https://deno.com/blog/v2.0):

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Deno 2, which includes:

Backwards compatibility with Node.js and npm, allowing you to run existing Node applications seamlessly Native support for package.json and node_modules Package management with new deno install, deno add, and deno remove commands A stabilized standard library Support for private npm registries Workspaces and monorepo support Long Term Support (LTS) releases JSR: a modern registry for sharing JavaScript libraries across runtimes

But to me it seems that Bun (https://bun.sh/) is largely a better solution, faster/easier to use/doesn't require lots of random knowledge

This solves exactly zero problems I have. Can't Dahl find something useful to do after 20 years?

Any runtimes such as Deno or Bun, which have huge amounts of venture funding are a strict no-no.
