014 - Bartek Iwańczuk on deno The Runtime

Rafael is joined by Bartek Iwańczuk, a core member of the deno team, to discuss some of the things that make deno such an exciting tool for development. They talk about why the team placed such an emphasis on conforming to web platform standards, the decision to move away from typescript in internal deno code, and the delicate balance between creating a new system and tech stack, while not alienating users who love npm and the node ecosystem.
