“A neutral industry group called ‘Package Metadata Interoperability Collab Space’ has formed at the OpenJS Foundation to iterate on the informal standardization of package.json and improve the interoperability of JavaScript package metadata for application developers.”

[Quoting the blog post:]

Earlier this year, we published a survey to help focus our efforts on improving the Deno runtime. With over 700 responses (thank you to those who filled out the form!), we gained some valuable insight into the progress we’re making, as well as identified which areas need improvement.

Here’s the high level summary of the key insights gathered from the survey, as well as where we’re focusing our efforts ahead of Deno 2:

• Our Node/npm compatibility has come a long way
• Framework compatibility is also important
• Host Deno anywhere
• A major upgrade to dependency management
• Road to Deno 2

“JSR – the JavaScript Registry is now in public beta – sign up now! JSR is optimized for TypeScript and supports ES modules only. It works with Deno and npm-based projects (Node, Bun, Cloudflare Workers, etc), and is free and open source.”

Installing packages:

# deno
deno add @luca/flag

# npm (and npm-like systems)
npx jsr add @luca/flag

Using packages:

import { printProgress } from "@luca/flag";
printProgress();
