Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“The most readable CLI for HTTP requests. Intuitive syntax that doesn't require remembering curl flags.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“curl is powerful but HTTPie is readable. For quick API testing, the syntax difference matters.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“The desktop app is beautiful. Colorized output and JSON formatting make API responses easy to read.”
