Reviewer scorecard
“Deno 2's Node.js compatibility changes everything. Secure by default, great tooling, and now practical for real projects.”
“webpack compatibility with Rust speed. The migration path from webpack is smoother than switching to Vite or Turbopack.”
“Deno 2 finally delivers on the promise. npm compatibility means you can actually use it without friction.”
“For webpack-heavy projects, Rspack provides the biggest speed improvement with the least migration effort.”
“Security-first runtime design is correct for the AI era where you're running untrusted code. Deno Deploy is compelling.”
“Rust-based JS tooling replacing JavaScript tooling is the trend. Rspack, Biome, and SWC prove it works.”
