Deno 1.32 Released with Enhanced Node Compatibility — I know this is a Node newsletter, but given Deno’s provenance and continuing insistence for Node.js compatibility, this is Node news in a round about way. 1.32 ships with TypeScript 5 and extends package.json support in particular.

Why We Added package.json Support to Deno — Further to the above item and Deno’s Node and npm compatibility continuing to improve, the Deno team has been facing questions about the runtime’s core priorities. Ryan Dahl explains more about the thinking here.

This item led to an amusing Hacker News subthread wondering if Deno is just heading back to where Node already is. Probably not, but it’s a playful observation, and a common issue around the ‘version 2’ of popular systems generally.
Migrating from ts-node to Bun — Everyone’s coming after Node.js this week! Now it’s the turn of performance oriented Bun. John runs us through porting a console app from ts-node over to Bun — something he calls “a pretty easy process”.

OTPAuth: One Time Password (HOTP/TOTP) Library — When you log in on a site with 2FA and you’re asked for six digits from your authentication app, that’s probably a so-called Time-based One-Time Password (or TOTP). This library for Node, Deno, Bun and the browser lets you work with both TOTPs and HOTPs (HMAC-based OTPs) from JavaScript.
