You don't need Node to use NPM packages

Deno: "I have become the very thing I swore to destroy"

[softwarelivre]

Deno is awesome! I use it whenever I can

[masterklm]

As soon as I saw you import Express without even installing it I knew it was over❤

[flamewave]

Never heard of Deno, I might need to check it out.

I learned Javascript and I’m thankful to js. Now, I can finally learn a low level language. I used it as a tool to learn to code and That’s where I want to draw the line.

Thanks for that caveat. Relay, only the de rigeur graphql library, happens to be one of those non-esm libraries that don't work with freshjs

[jesseparrish]

Great! I'll hang around a few more years and see if it's worth transitioning to Deno for any production use.

[mjkodonk]

I use it on my main project for some features. it works well. :D

[chriskleeblatt]

You can actually compile deno to a self contained executable with "deno compile".
But that feature is unstable and I think that npm support will soon be coming to that feature

[Codethier]

and the start of deno becoming the same kind of mess as node begins, with native and npm packages mingling together

[vladimirmijatovic]

I was just about to ask if Deno is still alive. I got my answer :D

[volimsir]

Really cool progress, but I'm still gonna wait before switching.
Got burned switching build tools way too much in the past.

I like to use Vite because it supports scss files right in the head of html. But Vite loses support for scss files when using Deno.

[talhaibnemahmud]

Time to switch my side projects to deno ❤️

[thefynn]

I hope Deno will be popular soon, its just much better. The natural Problem of a huge echosystem world is that inovations is very slow

[pwntmatch]

every fireship video starts with the tools the new package offers . every fireship video ends with a diss on JS

[darrenmoriarty]

What would happen if you use multiple versions of the same lib in your app?

[quintencabo]

Having a package json is kinda nice though to see what something is using

[vincaslt]

I wonder what's the best way to manage package versions in deno. If you use the package more than once and wish to change its version, you have to change it across the whole app. I've seen some ideas with declaring a single file that imports a versioned package and reexports it for the app. I've also seen some native way to keep track of versions in importMap, though I've had trouble providing types for packages that don't ship with them. Any idea?

[manemobiili]

If i was at a gunpoint and had to choose a javascript backend probably deno would be it!
