The Deno runtime natively supports TypeScript, JSX, and modern ECMAScript features with zero configuration.
interface Person {
name: string;
age: number;
}
function greet(person: Person): string {
return "Hello, " + person.name + "!";
}
const alice: Person = {
name: "Alice",
age: 36
};
console.log(greet(alice));Modern language features, built-in

Batteries included
The essential tools you need to build, test, and deploy your applications are all included out of the box.
Code linter
$ deno lint --watchDeno ships with a built-in code linter to help you avoid bugs and code rot.
Learn moreStandalone executables
Deno.serve(req => new Response("Hello!"));$ deno compile --allow-net server.ts
$ ./server
Listening on http://localhost:8000/Instantly create standalone executables from your Deno program. It even supports cross-compiling for other platforms!
Learn moreTest runner
$ deno test main_test.tsDeno.test("1 + 2 = 3", () => {
const x = 1 + 2;
console.assert(x == 3);
});Deno provides a test runner and assertion libraries as a part of the runtime and standard library.
Learn moreCode formatter
$ deno fmt --line-width=120Deno's built-in code formatter (based on dprint) beautifies JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and Markdown.
Learn moreSecure by default
A program run with Deno has no file, network, or environment access unless explicitly enabled.
Prevent supply chain attacks
Stop worrying about npm modules introducing unexpected vulnerabilities. Deno restricts access to the file system, network, and system environment by default, so code can access only what you allow.
Backward compatibile with Node.js
Deno's Node.js compatibility layer means you can bring the best of the Node ecosystem with you to Deno.
server.ts
import express from "npm:express@4";
const app = express();
app.get("/", function (_req, res) {
res.send("hello");
});
app.listen(3000, () => {
console.log("Express listening on :3000");
});$ deno run --allow-net --allow-read --allow-env server.js
Compatible with millions of npm modules
Include modules from npm in your Deno projects using
npm:specifiers.Built for the cloud

Our vibrant community
“I know this was gonna happen! Deno is truly building the fastest, most secure and personalizable JS runtime!”
“Deno's security model is PERFECT for this type of script. Running a script from a rando off the internet? It asks for read access to only the CWD and then asks for access to the file it wants to write to. 👏”
“I really think Deno is the easiest and most capable JS runtime. URL imports are slept on.”
“npm packages in Deno 👀 That’s an exciting development for those of us building at the edge.”
“This Deno thing is fast, no doubt about it. #denoland”
“Deno: I have to use the browser APIs cause they are everywhere, and everywhere is my target runtime (the web). The runtime that tries to mirror browser APIs server side makes my life easiest.”
“Deno is fantastic. I am using it to level up a bit in terms of JavaScript and TypeScript and it is the easiest way to get going. Their tooling is like 100x simpler than all the usual Node stacks.”
