  1. workers.cloudflare.com

    The Cloudflare Workers website.

    If you have ever worked with Serverless, especially with Cloudflare Workers, you would know that Workers are not completely compatible with Node.js, so using Node-specific libraries is likely to not work. On the other hand, if a library uses or is compatible with Web APIs, it runs smoothly. This also applies to Deno.

  3. fresh

    The next-gen web framework.

    Everything changed when I started "Tear Down and Rebuild" my blog. After many times of hesitating and pondering over technology choices, the name Fresh appeared. However, Fresh requires Deno as its runtime environment. Having no prior deployment experience but thinking "it's just a JavaScript runtime environment!" gave me more confidence. The next story is this article.

  4. deno

    A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

    Deno stable version was introduced about 3-4 years ago. At that time, it received quite a bit of attention because none other than Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js, was also the patron of Deno. Huh! You heard that right. Why would he create a new tool to compete with his own "child"?

  5. bun

    Incredibly fast JavaScript runtime, bundler, test runner, and package manager – all in one

    I remember the early days when it was just introduced; Deno seemed to lag behind Node.js in terms of program performance. Specifically, benchmark tests showed the difference between Deno and Node when running the same program; Deno always came up short. At one point, bun.sh suddenly appeared. Bun emerged as a phenomenon because it outperformed both Node.js in terms of performance. This made Deno seem even more dull.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
