Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“Revived by the Nx team and better than ever. The standard for publishing multiple npm packages from a monorepo.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“Was nearly dead, but Nx's stewardship brought it back. For npm publishing workflows, it's still the go-to.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“Nx and Turborepo are the future of monorepo tooling. Lerna is a legacy tool that works but isn't innovating.”
