Video Description

Many programming languages have standard libraries. What about JavaScript? 🤔️

Deno's goal is to simplify programming, and part of that is to provide the JavaScript community with a carefully audited standard library (that works in Deno and Node) that offers utility functions for data manipulation, web-related logic, and more. We created the Deno Standard Library in 2021, and four years, 151 releases, and over 4k commits later, we're thrilled to finally announce that it's 30 modules are finally stabilized at v1.

The video mentions some "de facto" standard libraries like Lodash or Underscore. But there is also Bun which try to promote their standard library like their test runner, their HTTP server, etc..

I like Deno's approach, since they try to make their “Standard library” also available for other platform. But only few of them are compatible with Node.js.

For instance, @std/cli is only available for Deno. So I'll stick with commander which is more standard for CLI tools, and it works with Deno, Bun & Node.js.

Good info! Thanks!

I wonder if Deno will expand compatibility further
