Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“CI/CD in the same place as your code. The marketplace has an action for everything. Matrix builds are powerful.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“YAML debugging is painful but the GitHub integration and free tier for open source make it the default choice.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“CI/CD integrated with the code platform is the right architecture. GitHub Actions is becoming the standard.”
