Deno, a secure TypeScript runtime using V8 and Go

Is that the case? I thought it might have been, but then took a gander at the "Show" tab and noticed other people were clearly submitting stuff with the [Show HN] prefix when they weren't the original author.

Apologies if I screwed up. Definitely not trying to take credit for Ryan's work.

I'm pretty sure it is for showing your own work, but I wouldn't worry about it. The "Show" label is relatively minor, and this is certainly an interesting project to share!

There's a link to the rules/guidelines at the top of the "show" page:

Thanks for the explanation, won't make the same mistake twice, this was my first submission ever on HN.

Show HN's definitely have a prestige because we think it's the author's debut of the project, feel like we're helping out a community member, and expect them to be fielding answers in the comments.

Else everything is a Show HN. Like Show HN: Google's new privacy policy. ;)

Yep, that's definitely the case. It's not the end of the world, but, generally, don't use "Show HN" to highlight work that isn't yours.
