There are a lot selling points. To me, the main one is typescript with no build.

  yarn global add ts-node prettier
  echo 'alias deno="ts-node"' >> ~/.zshrc
  echo 'alias deno-fmt="prettier --write"' >> ~/.zshrc
Deno provides a standard library, good defaults, top-level async-await, doesn't break browser compatibility, better API to integrate with runtime.

Internals are nicer but that's with anything without ugly legacy.

They are working to get node_modules work in deno so I am kind of worried that it will be nodev2 all over.

Clearly they have never dealt with JavaScript build tools and npm. A complete nightmare.

Who hasn't? Isn't this precisely one of the pros of Deno?

Yes. That's why I said that.
