📚 Learning and exploring Deno.

A modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript.

-- https://deno.land/

Description

In episode #443 on one of the best software podcasts, The Changelog, Ryan Dahl described his next big thing: Deno. It's an articulate, information-dense podcast episode and I recommend it.

I know JavaScript and npm and now I want to learn TypeScript. It seems like a good time to learn Deno at the same time! This project is me doing that.

Instructions

Follow these instructions.

1. Pre-requisite: Deno
   • I used Deno 1.31.1 for this project.
   • I manage my Deno installation with HomeBrew (although the options are great too).
2. Run the program:

   • deno run --allow-net webserver.ts

3. Open the browser
   • Open the browser at http://localhost:8000/ and see a message!

Notes

I'm using Intellij IDEA to work on this project (as I do for most projects). I have the official Deno plugin installed.

Wish List

General clean ups, todos and things I wish to implement for this project:

• Consider making multiple subprojects. I always like a basic project that highlights a minimal feasible example and I try to keep it idiomatic instead of unrealistically over-simplified. By contrast, then I like various intermediate examples showcasing more examples. Specifically, I want Deno projects that use import maps, import npm modules (a big change in Deno's philosophy!), and a bundled project.
