Deno is a Javascript runtime. Some devs will say that it is an alternative for NodeJS but it is not an alternative it is unique. Ryan Dahl the creator of Nodejs created this Deno.

NODE -> NO DE -> DE NO -> DENO

• Supports Typescript
• Gives single executable file
• It had built-in utils like code formatter and inspector

• No need npm
