@hecodesforme@deno_land Haha, I was given freedom in my technical design decisions. Thankful for that.
Around that time Vite was released, which brought me back to Node. Way before Deno added npm support.
Kinda felt Node’s ecosystem was growing while Deno adoption felt stuck YoY.
Feeling nostalgic as @deno_land winds down. It's what made me fall in love with TypeScript.
In 2021, I built a local newspaper's subscription billing on Deno.
Then Node caught up, and I went back. Is that how incumbents win – by absorbing the challenger's best ideas?
The newspaper was https://t.co/wiBYHA6IoC. Every month, the script read all subscriptions, generated SEPA direct debit XML files, and we uploaded them to the bank, which then collected the fees from every reader's account.
They also got their invoice as a PDF by email. Fun!
TOON v4 is out. ♨️
The criticism was fair: on nested data, v3 lost to compact JSON. Same weather document: 204 tokens in v3 against 162 compact.
v4: 204 → 128.

The nested header started as an RFC from Noah Nyholm – with grammar, benchmarks, and test cases. Thanks!
Also in v4: keyed tabular form, comment lines, key folding removed.
