Deno vs. Node.js: Which is better?

In this article, you’ll learn about Node.js and Deno, the differences between CommonJS and ECMAScript modules, using TypeScript with Deno, and faster deployments with Deno Deploy. We’ll conclude with notes to help you decide between using Node.js or Deno for your next development project.
