In this article I will be making you familiar with what Deno is and how is it different or similar to NodeJS. In the end I will talk about “Can Deno replace NodeJS?” Lets get started…

Deno is a runtime (not a programming language) built on V8, the Google runtime engine for JavaScript that can execute JavaScript and TypeScript. Deno needs to first compile TypeScript to JavaScript.

Let’s look at common features of Deno and Node:

1. They’re both runtime environments for JavaScript
2. They both run on any computer where you can run V8
3. They both have ECMAScript standard support
4. They’re both actively maintained
