Deno, and The Future of JavaScript Runtimes - Kitson P. Kelly - CityJS Conf 2020

Deno is a secure runtime of JavaScript and TypeScript built in Rust. I have been working on it since its early prototype days and want to share some insights with you on what the current state of Deno is and runtimes in general. I will explain how Deno works, what the future of Deno looks like, and what sort of challenges and problems come with running JavaScript and TypeScript.
