Well, if you have ever heard of NodeJS then this might be of interest to you :)
NodeJS has been around for quite some time, and used by a lot of large companies - but it did have some issues (not to mention the whole NPM world!).
The creator of NodeJS went away a few years ago to create DENO (yes, switch those letters around!). DENO aimed to fix some of the failings of NodeJS but didn’t support a lot of the existing NodeJS ecosystem.
DENO 2 does let you use the older NodeJS modules as well as it’s own newer modules which are, apparently, a lot safer.
Also, I didn’t quite do my research - DENO 2 is built with RUST :)
Deno is written in Rust and based on the V8 engine that powers Chromium browsers. "Rust has been crucial to Deno’s development, especially with Rusty V8, recently stabilized," Dahl told The Register. "Rust's unified build system simplifies adding third-party functionality compared to C++, keeping Deno fast and reliable for server-side apps."
Anyway, take a listen and here are a few links if you need them.
Okay, take care until the next time!
