The built-in Typescript support is amazing, but the selling feature for me was the ability to generate static binaries. Shipping is much easier when your built process can produce a single output!

You've been able to do that with Nexe for Node.js apps since basically forever.

Yes but because it's not natively supported there's common issues like https://github.com/nexe/nexe/issues/639.

A NodeJS Docker container is a few lines. I agree Deno's single binary is a nice feature but it's not very interesting for everyone.

Docker is very nice to deploy on docker-dedicated servers, but on legacy app or personal workstations binaries are more flexible

A docker container works for services - but CLI tools are more easily shipped as binaries.

It certainly isn't that interesting for everyone, but for a subset of users it's great!
