Deno, a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime built by Node.js creator Ryan Dahl, has been successful in its mission to be more secure and simpler than Node. However, it has struggled with widespread adoption due to the lack of compatibility between the two ecosystems. With Deno 2.0, this is changing as it brings Node.js and npm compatibility directly into Deno, allowing developers to use both platforms simultaneously. This version also introduces long-term support (LTS), which provides stability and predictability for large-scale projects and enterprises, making Deno a more viable option for these organizations.
