Deno!

Published on 20 November 2025 • Estimated reading time: 1 minutes

Last night at the DeveloperUG, I spoke on Deno—an amazing runtime for TS & JS… but a lot more than that. You can see the whole list below. There is A TON in this talk if you’ve never used the Deno runtime and stayed with Node.js. The video is available on YouTube!

The slides are available here, and the code is up on GitHub. Unfortunately, I had a demo fail at the end 🙁—but I’ve fixed it since. Now it compiles, so you can play with it at https://deno-demo.goodname.deno.net/ (I’ll leave it up for a while but likely turn it off in the future).

In terms of the tools I showed off:

• Warp
• Fish Shell
• Inquirer Prompts – npm library for amazing CLI tools
• jq – JSON CLI tools
• Deno Deploy
• Deno KV
• @std – the standard library for JS/TS
• JSR – an alternative to npm
• Hono – an amazing HTTP framework for Node.js and Deno
• The video on how awesome curl is on YouTube
