Our Commentary ​

Deno keeps pushing forward with both new features and Node.js compatibility. The experimental QuickJS backend is a fascinating development; I'm curious to see how that impacts performance and use cases. It feels like Deno is really trying to carve out its niche while still being a viable alternative for Node.js users.
