Deno vs Node - explained to a newbie

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/node

Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • readable-stream

    Node-core streams for userland

  • What are Deno's use cases? Web servers (on container because the http cluster_mode does not exists see https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/cluster-mode/ ), background jobs (please use https://doc.deno.land/https://deno.land/[email protected]/node/stream.ts or https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html ) mostly everywhere you can use NodeJs and don't use the "cluster_mode".

  • J2V8

    Java Bindings for V8

  • There are not too many not worthy ones, J2V8 https://github.com/eclipsesource/J2V8 is one to mention. Outside of that you have many Chromium based wrappers that inherently have V8 in them like CEF https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef or Electron (which also includes node, so you go full circle)

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc.
