About denoland/deno

Deno is a modern runtime for executing JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly code. Built on V8, Rust, and Tokio, it provides secure defaults and an improved developer experience compared to traditional Node.js environments. The runtime includes built-in tooling for common development tasks and can be installed across major operating systems through multiple package managers or compiled from source.

The project is frequently used for building web servers and backend applications. Deno's standard library provides officially supported utilities for common programming tasks, and it integrates with JSR, an open-source package registry designed for modern JavaScript and TypeScript. The runtime supports TypeScript natively without requiring separate compilation steps, making it straightforward to get started with a simple command-line invocation.

The Deno ecosystem includes comprehensive documentation, a developer blog with tutorials and product updates, and Deno Deploy for serverless deployment. The project actively welcomes community contributions and maintains active communication channels through Twitter, Bluesky, Discord, and YouTube.
