Deno with Luca Casonato

Software Engineering Daily
About this episode


Deno is a free and open source JavaScript runtime built on Google’s V8 engine, Rust, and Tokio. The project was announced by Ryan Dahl in 2018 with the goal of addressing shortcomings of Node.js, which Ryan also created. Since then, the Deno project has grown tremendously in popularity, and they recently announced Deno KV which is a database built into Deno.

Luca Casonato is a Software Engineer on the Deno project and joins the show to talk about Deno’s design, its new database, and the future of the JavaScript ecosystem.

Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript. Josh regularly presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.

You can find Josh on: Bluesky, Fosstodon, Twitter, Twitch, YouTube, and joshuakgoldberg.com.
