Didn't know about the project. Very interesting! Thank you. I'm gonna give deno a try. BTW how is it pronounced? Deeno? 🤔

Haha yeah, there has been some confusion about the pronunciation. It started as Deno (short 'e') and now is Deeno (long 'e'). It has a lot to do with the logo of the Dinosaur. You can watch Ryan Dahl (the creator) talk about it here. I've time stamped it so you can skip straight to where he starts mentioning it.
