The Importance Of Deno 2.0

Theo misunderstood what `deno bundle` does. Deno bundle just works as a bundler such as `esbuild`, combining source files to one file. What Theo described was `deno compile` which WAS NOT deprecated. Deno compile still very much exists.

Deno regardless of version is incredibly important because it represents a clean slate opportunity. No garbage CJS/require, only ES modules, built in TypeScript. Those alone eradicate a whole set of problems and footguns.

In 4 years we will have "6 things i regret about DENO" and them the release of DONE, its a cycle

I am waiting for DONE rc

Saying JavaScript is the true Unix gave me an aneurysm

Theo is sometimes pronouncing "Deno" the way Ryan Dahl originally pronounced it, but he and the rest of the org agreed to pronounce it "Dee-no" in 2020.

This really does feels like the first version of Deno I'd actually consider using

Deno is doing major work, it's just a question of time until I play with it. The standard library + linting + formatting completely part of the language makes so much sense 😭

Feels like Deno made a lot of bets on the ecosystem moving way quicker than it has and now they've rolled back so it's possible for people to actually use it before they run out of money

The doc test feature is one of the reasons that I love rust so much. Glad that deno is getting it now as well.
