Deno occupies the same niche in the developer world as Node.js - it is self-advertised as "a secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript." But it's not a replacement for Node.js - as Martin McKeaveney explains in this article, "eno is a fresh take and new ethos towards building, packaging and distributing scripts and applications in the JS ecosystem, built on modern technologies with a particular focus on providing a powerful scripting environment with the tooling you need built in." Some big changes include the elimination of the package manager (you just include Javascript from source directly with a URL) and explicit permission declarations for better security. Deno (probably pronounced 'Dino', if the logo is any guide) was created by Ryan Dahl, the original creator of NodeJS. More from the v1 announcement. Here's how to install (super simple!). Here's the manual.
