brew install deno
v2.8.3
MIT
Secure TypeScript and JavaScript runtime with built-in tooling, a drop-in alternative to Node.js.
Why you might care
Deno enforces security by default (explicit permissions), includes a formatter, linter, and test runner out-of-the-box, and natively supports TypeScript without extra setup. It's a modern refresh of the Node.js ecosystem if you want fewer dependencies and stronger sandboxing; if you're heavily invested in npm, stick with Node.
