Creator of Node.js and Deno

Ryan Dahl

Ryan Dahl created Node.js in 2009, then a decade later presented a talk on the design regrets behind it and started Deno, a rewritten runtime built in Rust with different defaults around security and modules. His profile is a rare example of a developer publicly iterating on the same problem twice, and the language mix shifts from C++ to Rust across that timeline.
