After many years and many projects using web technologies, Phil is becoming increasingly excited about changing up some of the tools that are his usual security blanket. After repeatedly campaigning for large clients to embrace tools from the NodeJS ecosystem while it was maturing, why would he consider disrupting that?
In this talk, Phil will speedrun features and utilities of Deno that have him excited, and share information about plans to help the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems continue to thrive. We'll look at things like package management and publishing, testing and tooling, writing and hosting serverless functions, and more. All while exposing how and why Phil was once daunted by embracing TypeScript, but is now finding new comfort in the emerging tools on offer.
This talk has been presented at Node Congress 2025, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.
