I use Deno because I couldn't be bothered to figure out the Node ecosystem and how to actually wire together the Typescript compiler, package json, builders and bundlers, etc. I just do not care and the mess of tooling is frankly exhausting to wade through.

Deno Just Works for me. `deno run file.ts` and you are good to go.

Not to say it's been 100% smooth sailing; I have hit a few rough patches with deployment into my own infrastructure (some within Deno and its dependency management, some within libs like sqlite3) but overall I am happy to not deal with nodejs.



Even after you figure out typescript with node, then you need to figure out sorucemaps otherwise your stack traces won’t be very useful
