Node is from the days before ES6 and uses a different API. Should just kill it and start fresh. Deno conforms to modern JS standards and is much more pleasant to use in pretty much every way.


Node.js adds new-style APIs all the time. The File-system API now has an async/await version which is a joy to use.

When you load a library you can load a newer version or an older one. It's up to you. You can use both.


I agree that that's the direction of the future. I wouldn't start a new, important project with Deno just yet. It's still the early days.


Yeah, things like Oracle drivers might be nice.
