Deno is so nice for infrastructure scripting in projects. I tried to convince my company to use it but apparently one `curl` line to install it was too much to ask so now I spend half my time fighting Python, setting up venvs, working around pip bugs, etc. Yeay.


Agreed... I use deno a lot for my ~/bin directory scripts, being able to rely on direct references and just run stuff, without the npm install step is just handy in practice. That node_modules doesn't work the same as well. There are things that are somewhat annoying in practice, but shell scripting with Deno has been beyond nice to say the least.


Not to mention the performance / async / memory usage benefits you would have gotten on Node/Deno (not to mention lower cloud bills). I do not know why teams doing this.
