Supper Club × Ryan Dahl and Deno

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Ryan Dahl about Deno. Why was Deno created? What is Deno written in? How is Deno so much faster? And what’s the future of Deno? Gatsby - Sponsor Today’s episode was sponsored by Gatsby, the fastest frontend for the headless web.
