Request: Update & direction for deno

[jackkoppa]

Talk Request

Topic(s):
Deno, the new TypeScript alternative to Node

Additional Notes:
Ryan Dahl, the original creator of Node.js, has created Deno, after a pretty compelling presentation on "10 Things I Regret About Node.js" (JSConf EU 2018).

I can understand some of the regrets that Ryan expressed re: Node, but have no idea what the current direction for Deno is. Would it be used just server-side? (Ryan mentions trying to allow it to work in the browser, where Node doesn't). What would code sharing look like, if there's no npm? And what are the chances that people start using Deno, and/or when?

What would the ideal length be?

• 5-15 minutes (lightning talk)
• 20-30 minutes
• 30-45 minutes
• 60 minutes or more
