The world of JavaScript levelled up when Ryan Dahl revealed Deno 2, a programming language that aimed to solve the problems of Node.js. Dahl is the brain behind Node.js, and in the past, he has expressed regrets that what started as a simple runtime environment no longer remained simple and easy to work with.
To solve this issue, he created Deno, which is the opposite of Node (De+No).
While explaining why Deno 2 was required, he said, "Programming should be simple and that's why I created Node, but these days Node is hardly simple and getting Node APIs working in the browser can be frustrating. Security is also a nightmare, I mean the NPM package can access everything which is a huge concern. Deno solves all of these while being simple to use."
