This is really cool! Can anyone explain why deno has made it to MDN but node.js has not?
node is on MDN for all browser APIs it implememts, there's just not many of them. Deno has much higher browser compat.
It's worth noting this isn't Node's fault: most Node APIs existed before there were browser equivalents and adding browser compat now is much harder for Node than for Deno which is starting from scratch.
> Deno has much higher browser compat.
Is this a fact or a personal feeling? Any links to back up this statement?
This is a fact. Import maps, fetch, ESM + web import semantics, localstorage, WebGPU, WHATWG streams, WebCrypto. Deno runs the shared web platform test suite: https://deno.co/wptfyi. You can also just look on MDN now and see which APIs are implemented in Deno compared to Node :-)
What's the point of implementing APIs like WebGPU and localstorage in a non-browser environment? I get WHATWG streams, esm, fetch and WebCrypro though.
