It’s been around for two years now. We’re hearing the term Deno, and the developer community, especially the JavaScript community, is quite excited since it’s coming from the author of Node, Ryan Dahl. In this article, we’ll discuss a brief history of Deno and Node along with their salient features and popularity.

Deno was announced at JSConf EU 2018 by Ryan Dahl in his talk “10 Things I Regret About Node.js.” In his talk, Ryan mentioned his regrets about the initial design decisions with Node.

In his JSConf presentation, he explained his regrets while developing Node, like not sticking with promises, security, the build system (GYP), package.json and node_modules , etc. But in the same presentation, after explaining all the regret, he launched his new work named Deno. It was in the process of development then.

But on 13th May 2020, around two years later, Deno 1.0 was launched by Ryan and the team (Ryan Dahl, Bert Belder, and Bartek Iwańczuk). So let’s talk about some features of Deno.
