<3 Deno
I tried Deno and really liked it. The pros:<p>- It uses the v8 engine so you've got the same APIs you know and love for the browser like fetch() - Something that nodejs is just catching up to now<p>- It's not nodejs, the whole name means 'destroy node'. You can get a lot done without being buried in dependencies. Well-maintained core libraries.<p>- Server-Side WASM is a really interesting idea for encapsulating and integrating stuff written in, say, C++<p>The cons:<p>- Some of the third party ecosystem seems to be suffering from a lack of recent maintenance<p>- Server-side WASM is limited to 32-bit until they figure that out, which also limits whatever you do with it to a 4GB memory ceiling<p>Other than all that though it's probably not a bad choice for anyone not bothered by those limitations and just wants everyone who speaks typescript on the frontend to be able to grasp what's on the server side end of things too.<p>I think it could probably thrive with more usage traction.
