How Node.js Is Addressing the Challenge of Ryan Dahl’s DenoCategory: github
Node.js, the open source JavaScript runtime, released its 15th version last week. Deno, an open source JavaScript runtime released in May, was created by none other than Ryan Dahl — the original author of Node.js. Even worse than having a competitor who knows your product inside out, Deno was created specifically to fix what Dahl perceived as the key weaknesses of Node.js — including security issues, use of a centralized repository system (npm), and “heavy-handed tooling.”
And compared to the cutting edge nature of Deno — for example, Deno was written in the trendy new programming language, Rust — the Node.js project follows a relatively conservative development path nowadays.
As for Dahl’s criticism of npm as a closed ecosystem for modules, Griggs sees no reason for Node.js to change that.
