Deno boosts dependency management with JSR
Briefly

Deno 1.42 brings significant improvements for Node.js and NPM compatibility, including updates to the async_hooks, crypto, and worker_threads modules. The async_hooks module now supports new APIs for managing asynchronous context, while the crypto module adds several valuable APIs like getRandomValues() and createPublicKey(). Type-checking issues have been addressed to streamline execution, as type-checking now only occurs before execution. Deno also boasts a 10% improvement in startup time on Linux and introduces an environment variable for early access to Deno 2.0 features, emphasizing ongoing performance enhancements and usability.
Deno 1.42 introduces numerous enhancements for Node.js and NPM compatibility, boosting performance, adding new APIs across modules, and improving type-check functionality.
Notably, the crypto module now supports additional APIs like getRandomValues() and createPublicKey(), along with broader curve support, enhancing cryptographic capabilities.
The async_hooks module's support for EventEmitterAsyncResource and AsyncLocalStorage.enterWith APIs marks a significant step forward in facilitating asynchronous context management.
With a 10% faster startup time on Linux and reduced memory allocations, Deno 1.42 optimizes performance and prepares for upcoming features in Deno 2.0.
