Deno 2 Has a Free API: Node.js Compatibility, npm Packages, and TypeScript Without Config

Deno 2 is a major release that brings full Node.js/npm compatibility while keeping Deno's security, built-in TypeScript, and developer experience. Run npm packages, use Node.js APIs, and deploy anywhere. Why Deno 2?
