Node.js VS Deno: Will Deno replace Node.js?

 Once Deno released there were so many questions and speculations related to Deno and Node.js, one of them was is Deno going to replace node.js?

I think Node.js is pretty much mature and well-established technology. Node.js is also incredibly supported by companies and the community. So for sure, Node.js will be around for a while and Deno is not going to replace it overnight.

Since Deno is like a replacement for Node.js, Let's look at some of the similarities between them.

  • Both Deno and Node.js are developed upon the Chromium V8 Engine.
  • Both are built to develop server-side applications.

Let's dig into the differences between them:

  • Node.js is written in C++ and JavaScript. Deno is written in Rust and TypeScript
  • Node.js has a package manager called npm. Deno doesn’t have a package manager and it lets you import modules directly via URL.
  • Node uses the CommonJS syntax for importing packages deno uses modern ECMAScript features in all its API and standard library, while Node.js uses a callbacks-based standard library and has no plans to upgrade it.. Deno uses ES Modules, the official way.
  • Deno offers a sandbox security layer through permissions. A program can only access the permissions set to the executable as flags by the user. A Node.js program can access anything the user can access.

Thanks for reading. If you have some feedback, please reach out to me on Twitter or Github.

Track stock market information right in your Terminal.

     Introduction: As a developer, I love working with the terminal. The plain, simple, and in my opinion the best way to interact with the computer (also it makes you look geeky). I spent most of my time in the terminal. By now you must have guessed I am a huge fan of the terminal and terminal-based applications. Recently I developed an interest in stock markets and started tracking the stock markets. Since I love working with the terminal I decided to build a terminal oriented application that can help me to track the stock market. Inspir e d by  wttr.in  I build  terminal-stocks  which can provide the stock's current prices, historical prices, and global market summary. How to use terminal-stocks terminal-stocks  is available and can be used without installation.

Setting up Nginx as a reverse proxy for Node.js App

Okay.. but what is a reverse proxy? A reverse proxy is a web server that centralizes internal services and provides unified interfaces to the public.
