Ryan Dahl is a true visionary. I just watched his Google TechTalk this morning, and it's clear that he was so far ahead of his time.

One fun thing I learned is that he wanted require to be asynchronous originally. If the CommonJS people hadn't convinced him to change it, we might have never had this whole CJS/ESM debacle in the first place!

Deno was created by conference driven development 😮

Perfect timing. Thank you for the great content.
I started playing with deno two days ago. Like how easy it is to deploy as well.

can we have an interview about flutter? I liked the style of documentary

It is so sad to hear that, Honeypot will be discontinued soon, this channel was so amazing, I watched all videos :(

[bobDotJS]

I can't wait for Theo to steal this documentary and then turn his audience against Honeypot again

[flyinetech]

Wow this is interesting. I will be glad to be one of the first people to create a complete application with Deno 😊

I’m a Laravel dev and have successfully avoided using Node for anything meaningful for over a decade 😅 In a recent project I needed to run user-supplied JS server-side, and was dreading the prospect of having to provision isolated runtimes just to get some semblance of security.

Finding Deno was an incredible blessing ! A single binary, sandboxed and isolated, which even supports TypeScript natively… you saved me countless days and many more gray hairs. Thanks Ryan and the Deno team!!!

abstract everything and make us dum deno is abstractting hard work but i just love it lol

[ceralguy]

@Honeypotio are you guys planning a documentary about DENO, it would be great

[CodeWhizbang]

Have you thought about making one for Kotlin too? Would be awesome to see you dive into that!

[LongerThanAverageUsername]

Do web developers know they don’t have to hunch over a laptop and can used a desktop with a screen they can actually see?

[omarizem]

Just when i thought juggling JavaScript frameworks was enough, now we have runtime environments too
should I just go back to PHP and call it a day? 🤔😅

[TheOriginalJohnDoe]

"That was it"
- Ryan: Great 😐

Nodejs শেষ করতে পারলাম না এরই মধ্যে Deno নিয়ে আসছে ভাই ডাল আমরা কি চট করে Deno শিখতে পারবো 😂

Sad to see honeypot close shop ...End of an era 1 Jan 2025

[edwinquaihoi]

mistakes ... npm and allowing ~ and ^ dependency versioning oh and a copy of dependency for each project rather than a central local repo

[gautamdiwan]

Bun
Next
Svelte
Golang
Django
Nest
Flutter

These can be made into documentaries

What the world needs is less javascript and not more, I’m pretty sure even the biggest fanboy will accept that javascript is being used for things it has no business being used in.
