About

Deno the company contributes to Deno the open source project, which already has tens of thousands of weekly active users on GitHub. The company currently has 17 employees, and plans to hire 10 more by next year. Deno is a runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly based on the Rust programming language and the V8 JavaScript engine initially developed for Google Chrome and Chromium web browsers. Deno is also a member of an initiative between Node.js and Cloudflare to allow the transfer of apps between Cloudflare Workers, Deno, and Node.js without the need for a rewrite, a feat that’s presently beyond reach.“There’s a huge amount of economic pressure to improve the infrastructure around the web — whether that’s browsers themselves or the servers that host websites or the databases,” Dahl said.
