Deno, A new javascript runtime
Submitted May 18, 2020
Session type::
Crisp talk (20 mins duration)
JavaScript is the most widely used dynamic language, operating on every device with a web browser. Vast numbers of programmers are fluent in JavaScript and much effort has been put into optimizing its execution. Through standards organizations like ECMA International, the language has been carefully and continuously improved. Dynamic typed languages are very essential tools. Scripting allows many users to rapidly tie together complex ideas without worrying about details like build systems or memory management.
In recent years of programming languages like Rust and Go have made it easier to produce very sophisticated native machine code. Out of necessity, Node had to invent concepts which were later taken up by the standards organizations and added to the language differently. Due to the large number of users that Node has, it is difficult and slow to evolve the system. However, we claim it is still important to have a powerful scripting environment that can address a wide range of problem domains.
Deno, a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime promising stronger security and a superior developer experience to Node.js, reached its 1.0 release status on May 13, 2020. The philosophy behind Deno is to serve as a productive, secure scripting environment for the modern programmer.Deno attempts to provide a standalone tool for quickly scripting complex functionality. Deno is (and always will be) a single executable file.
