Deno is a runtime environment for JavaScript and TypeScript that focuses on security and modernity, primarily used for developing server-side applications. Unlike Node.js, Deno places a strong emphasis on security by default, granting no unrestricted access and instead requiring explicit permissions for accessing the file system, network, and other resources. This makes Deno a promising choice for security-critical applications. The runtime environment also provides an efficient way to natively support TypeScript, enabling developers to use static typing and modern JavaScript features. Deno has an active developer community and is gaining popularity for building scalable and secure server-side applications.
