alt Hacker NewsI switched to Deno because it is the only option out of the 3 that allow monorepo workflow without building .d.ts files. Bun and Node both do type stripping or compiling of TS, but it only works for the entry package of the running script, not any of the linked dependencies from the same repo.
There are still things I dislike about Deno, but it really does make package development a lot simpler. JSR is a great upgrade from NPM, and Deno makes it so simple to publish to both NPM and JSR. Strict IO permission system and WebGPU support are also nice to have.

Deno makes this simple too. Though that's where it's bundling features stop. Honestly I am okay with that, I'd rather use Rolldown or Vite for web or library bundling.
Deno has been great for wrapping the dozens of REST API's I need to use in the world in MCP. The no compilation thing means that I can push and it's literally deployed in seconds. I run several dozen of the little servers for various use cases, it's a very cheap way to build an automatable life
