Announcing Deno 2

Our next major version of Deno combines the simplicity, security, and performance of Deno 1 with full Node and npm backwards compatibility, and much more.The web is humanity’s largest software platform — building for it means potentially reaching over 5 billion people. But as web development has accelerated in recent years, it has also become increasingly and unmanageably complex. Before writing a single line of code, developers must deal with tedious configuration and wading through unnecessary boilerplate, when they would rather focus on shipping product and delivering value to users. Yet despite these complexities, JavaScript, the language of the web, has remained the most popular language for the past decade, with TypeScript quickly emerging as number three. This is a testament to JavaScript’s ubiquity and usefulness for web development — and a sign that JavaScript is not going anywhere.
