Deno

Deno is a JavaScript runtime written in rust and considers execution permissions and safety concerns. It aims to replace Node given some of the issues Node and NPM has caused (e.g. package repo changes). It came out in 2020 and supports TypeScript out of the box.

Why is deno exciting? It's new and provides safety. Static type from TypeScript is important since there are efforts to adding type hints or some form of static type checks in dynamic typed languages. Typed languages are easier to test and avoids bugs caused by incompatible types.
