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 is fantastic. I keep trying to get people to use it for scripting instead of Python, but nooo we have to use Python because it’s already installed and installing Deno is apparently too much hassle.

    1000 hours lost to pip and venv later…
