Deno is a modern runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly built on V8, Rust, and Tokio, with secure defaults and first-class TypeScript support. It includes a standard library, built-in tooling (linting, formatting, testing), and is commonly used to build web servers and CLI tools.

Use cases

• run typescript without a build step
• build a web server in typescript
• write command-line scripts in javascript
• run javascript with secure permissions
• execute webassembly modules
• replace node.js with a modern runtime

When to choose

• you want built-in TypeScript support with no configuration
• you value secure-by-default permission model
• you want an all-in-one runtime with linting, formatting, and testing built in

When to avoid

• you depend on a Node.js package ecosystem that requires native addons or CommonJS internals
• your team and tooling are deeply invested in Node.js
