Deno has recently released version 2.0 after four years of its initial release. A significant change is the full compatibility with Node.js, allowing it to read package.json files and node_modules folders. Deno itself manages packages through its deno.json file and now can also utilize npm package references. The interoperability with Node.js now enables the use of almost all popular frameworks such as Next.js, Astro, Remix, Angular, and SvelteKit.
Another important change is that the project’s standard library is now stable, with 42 libraries, one being deprecated, nine unstable, and one experimental.
This version also prepares for long-term support, starting from version 2.1 and onwards.
TLDR: Deno releases version 2.0 with full compatibility with Node.js, stable standard library, and preparation for long-term support starting from version 2.1.
