Will Deno make everything better and replace Node.js?
Node.js has long been an established environment for the execution of server-side JavaScript. Modern IT landscapes would be unthinkable without it; companies like Uber or Netflix have been using Node.js for years. But with the release of Deno, a server-side execution environment for TypeScript and JavaScript, this could soon change. Outdated traditions are ended and modern concepts are introduced. Will Deno join the IT landscape or even push the veteran Node.js from its place?
Deno is a new runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, created by Ryan Dahl - the original creator of Node.js. The project is intended to fix design problems in Node.js described in Dahl's famous talk "10 Things I Regret About Node.js". We talked to Krzysztof Piechowicz (adesso AG) about the differences between Node.js and Deno. In the iJS video, Piechowicz goes into the topic in more detail and shows what is possible with Deno.
