I feel like I have hit a point in my life where I don't want another framework to learn, and due to this I am not giving Deno a fair shake...

Does anyone have a short anecdote why I might bother to invest in yet another JS framework?

It's not a framework, it's a JS runtime on top of v8 (like node).

Deno isn't a framework, it's a node.js alternative. The best pitch I've heard is that it's written by the same guy who did node.js, with the intent to fix everything he thought he got wrong with node.js.

Is it technically a framework? I thought it was an entire alternative runtime to NodeJS.

Well, Deno's not really a framework, it's a runtime (like node.js). If you're writing Typescript, it makes that way easier. If you're doing lots of IO, it makes that easier (promises). If you want sandboxing, it has that (though if it's for server software, you should use firejail or Docker or something around it anyway).

Deno isn't a JS framework?

Good news.

Deno tries to be as close to the browser API as possible. So it's easier to learn than Node.js if you come from frontend development.
