So when is this going to change? I mean, I suppose deno will become mature at some point, right? How did other languages become mature?


It might never be ready for production.

Who picked Deno at your company? It's a odd choice given it's limited support.

Even if it's fine for some use cases, it sounds like a poor fit for your needs.


If you don't need NPM modules, Deno is pretty nice. There's a Deno specific ecosystem (e.g. DB drivers) that is working fine, but of course you're limited compared to the huge NPM ecosystem.


Well the idea was to use a typescript-capable environment, and we thought that deno could be a good fit.

The main problem is that we spent more time doing trial-and-error than actually developing software.

Maybe it was a bad choice, yes.


I think if I was in your shoes I would have evaluate what your ultimate goal is. Do you need a back in language with types ?

Maybe C# would be a better fit?


Thanks I’m thinking about golang, I don’t know we will see.

Thanks for your advice!


Golang is more mature, but it's still a relatively new language.

C#, Java, and to a lesser extent NodeJS and Python are enterprise level backend languages with support for whatever you can imagine.
