Deno

"Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript that uses V8 and is built in Rust.

Secure by default. No file, network, or environment access, unless explicitly enabled.
Supports TypeScript out of the box.
Ships only a single executable file.
Has built-in utilities like a dependency inspector (deno info) and a code formatter (deno fmt).
Has a set of reviewed (audited) standard modules that are guaranteed to work with Deno.

"Try running a simple program: deno run https://deno.land/std/examples/welcome.ts

"Or a more complex one:

import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@0.53.0/http/server.ts";
const s = serve({ port: 8000 });
console.log("http://localhost:8000/");
for await (const req of s) {
  req.respond({ body: "Hello World\n" });
}

Cannot help but notice that "deno" is an anagram of "node".
