From the article: "Also like browsers, code is executed in a secure sandbox by default. Scripts cannot access the hard drive, open network connections, or make any other potentially malicious actions without permission."

That just means you have to run with the -http -fs, etc. flags. But you are using those when writing any nontrivial Deno app like a webserver anyways.

"web browsers already do this ;)" isn't a good comparison.

"But I have to turn all that stuff on" is also not a good comparison.

Actually, no Deno webserver I've written gets fs access. Some only get --allow-net.
