Node.js rival Deno emphasizes security
Deno, a secure JavaScript and TypeScript runtime devised by Node.js creator Ryan Dahl, is close to a 1.0 release, Dahl said this week. Dahl also elaborated on features in the works for Deno.
Intended to provide a productive, secure scripting environment for the modern programmer, Deno arose from Dahl’s dissatisfaction with the popular Node.js JavaScript runtime, particularly in regards to security. The only major feature still missing is debugger support, Dahl said, adding that the project aims to draw on Chrome Devtools for debugging.
