Deno in 2024
We had a busy 2024 with the launch of Deno 2 and JSR, and dozens of features to simplify programming. Here are the biggest updates in 2024 and what's on the horizon.
Deno 2.0 introduction
cross-posted from: https://feddit.nl/post/22255240
What a funny intro! 😄
Deno is a modern JavaScript/TypeScript runtime built by the creator of Node.js, designed as a more secure and developer-friendly alternative. Unlike Node, Deno runs with strict permissions (no file, network, or environment access by default) and includes TypeScript support out of the box. It also natively supports modern web APIs and provides built-in utilities like testing and formatting, reducing the need for external dependencies. Plus, it’s modular, offering direct URL-based imports instead of relying on
node_modules
.
Deno 1.43: Improved Language Server performance
Deno 1.43 enhances productivity with a faster language server, improved npm compatibility, a new `deno serve` subcommand, URL.parse() API, and announcements regarding Deno 2.
Deno 1.42: Better dependency management with JSR
Deno 1.42 revolutionizes dependency management with the seamless integration of JSR, enhancing Node/npm compatibility and introducing significant performance improvements.
Survey Results and Roadmap
You answered our survey and we listened. Here’s what we’re working on currently and what you can expect from Deno next.
Deno 1.41: smaller deno compile binaries
We've roughly halved the size of `deno compile` binaries, added official Linux ARM64 builds, continued to land Node.js compatibility improvements, and more.
Introducing Deno Deploy onboarding tutorials
We revamped Deno Deploy’s onboarding to show you how easy it is to use Deno’s cloud primitives in your projects.
Deno in 2023
2023 marked a significant step towards our vision of radically simplifying web development. Here are the biggest updates and what’s coming up next.
Deno 1.40: Temporal API
Deno 1.40 introduces the Temporal API, TC39 decorators, and a range of deprecations and stabilizations, along with improvements in Node.js compatibility, LSP, diagnostics, and handling of unstable features, paving the way for a seamless upgrade to Deno 2.
