Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“Remote caching and affected-only testing save enormous CI time. The project graph visualization is invaluable for large repos.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“If you have a monorepo with more than 5 projects, Nx pays for itself in CI time savings on day one.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“Monorepos are winning. Nx and Turborepo are making them practical at any scale.”
