Deno
MIT TypeScript runtime forever; Deploy free tier is real but separate
Libraries / Runtime · Freemium · 108k
What's Good
MIT runtime forever. Secure-by-default permissions, built-in TypeScript, std library, npm interop matured. Deploy free tier is real. Skills already on the catalog; gem was missing.
The Catch
Deploy is not the runtime. The MIT runtime is free forever; Deno Deploy is a separate hosted product with a free tier — do not conflate them. Distinct from Node and Bun as runtimes.
Verdict
MIT runtime forever. Deploy free tier is real; do not merge the two.
