Building Deno, One Year and Two Hundred Patches Later
About a year ago, I made a new year resolution to take a few months away from contracting and finally publish a game. I’m already thirty and some change and have been developing games for fun since I was a little brat.
But the reason wasn’t that I didn’t work on it, its just that when it comes to my own projects I am really a top tier expert yak shaver so I basically ended up shaving yaks until I became an active contributor to the Deno TypeScript and JavaScript runtime instead.
So how on earth does Deno, a JavaScript and Typescript runtime relate to game development? it doesn’t, at-least not to someone not familiar with the ancient art of yak shaving.

Basically dipped my toe in because one of the things I was working on for the platform abstraction layer of my vaporware game was an implementation of the WebAssembly System Interface for Web Browsers.
