Video Description

Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️

Deno's goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we're thrilled to finally announce that it's 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

Everyone who has ever heard of deno has read this irrelevant blog post. It was even stupid at the time he wrote it. People had long been containerizing their node payloads to solve most of his concerns and building ts-node into your js engine as a preprocessors was also beyond redundant. Everything is such a gimmick and people actually followed the marketing and went through years of unstable development for nothing. And now bun people are recycling the same hype approach to gain relevance

    You keep saying "relevance", and now other things like "gimmick" and "marketing".

    Why are you so focused on "relevance"?

    They're completely unrelated to Deno.

    Node had problems, ts-node had problems, Deno fixes those problems for developers.

    Separately, Bun trades solving some problems for solving other problems.

    Developers are free to choose between runtimes based on what problems they encounter.

    Personally I use node for existing web projects and deno for data processing and to compile scripts into redistributable binaries.
