The very first line of sample code is linking to Deno standard modules, basically the standard library for Deno, aiming to be feature complete enough to bring down the side of depe…

TBH I am not probably the right person to answer this. Bartek has been working on a lot of internal refactoring these days and he had some discussion with Bert (presenter in dotjs …

For people who are interested to learn more about the current status of Deno, we have a Gitter chatroom: https://gitter.im/denolife/Lobby Feel free to ask any questions there!

By default remote imports does allow network access, but when running the downloaded scripts, they subject to network permission settings. Also if you are just worried about any re…

I believe the current goal is by the end of January (and the main blocker right now is v8 inspector support (debugging in Chrome devtools)). However internally there are quite a fe…

Also scripting feels nice in Deno so far. Also the ease of using a script written by someone else hosted on the web to do stuff, without worrying it taking over my machine, is cool…

I remember saw something long time ago that type hints does not really offer much performance benefit here. Also TypeScript types aren't that reliable anyways since you can always …

The Rust v8 wrapper used in Deno is rusty_v8: https://github.com/denoland/rusty_v8 The whole privileged side (except for v8 itself) is in Rust.

Deno does transparent compiling and caching of TS into JS. This allows interesting behavior such as the ability to import TS files with explicit .ts extension in JS files, e.g. `im…

We currently support Rust message-passing based plugins. Rust sources can be fetched with Cargo or other alternative tools. Maybe (just "maybe" for now) we will be able to support …

You don't really need NPM hosting with Deno. What you need is an index: sources can be hosted elsewhere independently, and instead people can build sites for popular module lookups…

Yep that is the intended Deno standard modules -- the goal is to have a standard library large enough to cover most use cases (and that this standard library would not depend on ex…

Are you running deno 0.10.0 versus Node? Since there has been some internal refactoring it should now be 80% wrt basic http req/sec (ref: https://deno.land/benchmarks.html#all , th…

Then how about a site like unpkg.com? The definition even becomes much more blurry as redirections and other possible protocols are involved.

It is actually more interesting about the definition of “per module”, because technically every single file is its very own module from the view of V8, and is reinforced in Deno si…

For certain purposes (especially for writing servers), I would actually suggest Go and Rust as much better replacements for Node.js :) (Ryan also mentioned, if you notice, Go as be…

Replying to Flatbuffers concerns: You are right, we will try to get rid of it for some faster serialization mechanisms (after some huge internal refactor lands). See the talk I pos…

You turn all permissions on if you are actually using it as if it is Node for writing servers. But in the case when you are using a (potentially untrusted) code snippet to perform …

As a contributor to Deno, I am actually quite surprised that this got resurfaced on Hacker news after the hype June last year. That being said, I suggest checking out this video (r…

Created this guide to discuss some current designs of Deno, a secure TypeScript server-side runtime created by Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js. It aims to make the current codeba…
