Deno is a JavaScript and TypeScript runtime, for those who don't recognize the name. Here's a review of Deno 2.6 vs competitors Bun 1.3 and Node.js 25:

It's surprising to me that bun is so much faster serving web requests. The article mentions Zig as a factor, but is micromanaging memory really gaining over 2x vs node?

Similarly, it seems, though they didnt exactly say, that they're running bun with a warm package cache... What about the others? Do they have caches?

As someone who has optimized by reducing/batching heap allocations, 2x seems within the realm of possibility, depending on the exact circumstances.

That being said, iirc, node also has more hooks for things like observability than bun does, which might hurt it here

I wonder how Deno's faring.

Node's the stable solution and will be with us forever. You can now use TypeScript with it and, soon enough, you'll be able to build your app to a single executable -- including native deps.

Bun's chaotic but, nonetheless, it's _fast_ and it's taking an interesting approach by including everything in the stdlib. Plus, bought by Anthropic.

Deno had an awesome story with the sandbox and ease of import for third-party dependencies. Sandboxes feel pretty commoditized now and I'm not sure the import mechanism ended up being that much nicer than a `npm add`.

Whoa, did not know that. That's a killer feature!

Who thinks this is a positive?!

That wasn't a value judgment on the acquisition. I was just pointing out that it made the project more sustainable.

It means they're a whole lot less likely to run out of money, which makes them a safer bet as a dependency.

The new *deno pack* command is a nice addition for safe and simple packaging.

For those using Node.js, a similar single command is available with https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node-pack

Now that Node.js supports importing .ts modules, more repos can use them without a build step or putting any build artifacts in the checkout.
