Hi curious future Denozens..! Deno first hit my radar two years ago as a project being developed by Ryan Dahl, the original creator of Node.js. At the time it was billed as a 'segfaulty', not Node or In the intervening two years, a team of over 200 contributors have been plugging away and a final version 1.0 release is due next week. Deno is a very interesting development in the JavaScript world and I'm hoping to cover its growth on a frequent basis here in Deno Weekly — welcome! Note: This is just a sample issue that won't be sent to anyone, so there are only a few links below to get you up to speed with what Deno is if you're not familiar. — Peter Cooper |

The Official Deno Homepage — It'd be a bit silly if we didn't finish with a link to the official Deno homepage as it's ultimately the most official source of documentation and information, although currently it's certainly quite minimalist :-) deno.land |
