## Bio

Born in 1981, Dahl is an American software engineer who saw what JavaScript could become if it escaped the browser. Node.js, his first runtime, turned the language into a server-side tool and reshaped how developers think about concurrency and event loops. But technical debt and design regrets accumulated. So he built Deno, a JavaScript and TypeScript runtime, addressing the mistakes he'd lived with in the first go. Two runtimes, one author, both bets on the same unlikely language.
