Deno is the secure, modern runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly (built on V8 and Rust) that provides a complete, zero-config toolchain.

Deno is a simple, modern runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript, created by Node.js founder Ryan Dahl to address key design regrets from Node.js. It operates on the Chromium V8 engine and Rust, prioritizing security by default: file system and network access are explicitly disallowed unless permissions are granted (like browser geolocation). Deno functions as an all-in-one toolchain, offering built-in support for TypeScript, linting, testing, and formatting (`deno fmt`) with zero configuration. It utilizes standard ES module imports via URLs, eliminating the need for a separate package manager like npm and the bulky `node_modules` folder, streamlining dependencies and deployment.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Writing our own JavaScript for "Code Mode" MCP](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp__yv2FaDF35s)

How we built two javascript runtimes in Rust using the "Deno" crate. - How we embedded typescript instant type checking of LLM generated code - How we embedded a Rust MCP client - How we lean on Deno configurations for sandboxing rules

### [Agent harness built for agents to build agents that actually work](https://nyc.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_uBlbJY8oOTY)

Gambit is an agent harness that lets people write assistants, agents, and workflows entirely using markdown. That means it's really uniquely suited to help agents build other agents. We have a small runtime, and tooling (including build tooling, test tooling, grading / evals, and verification at scale) that means you can actually deploy something and have data about how it'll work before deployment.

### [Calling Tools like code programmatically](https://seattle.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Mmbrn3sy9nc)

Codecall changes how agents interact with tools by letting them write and execute code (in deno sandboxes) that orchestrates multiple tools programmatically (like an API) to do a task, rather than making individual tool calls that bloat the context and increase the token usage like in traditional agents

### [Inklu-Connect JobSync](https://bremen.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_Umo1VZtpUi4)

Inklu-Connect is an automated job multi-posting and accessibility optimization platform. With the time constraint at hand, I will show structured JSON metadata generation with a given schema for jobs and how it helps to fully automate job multiposting. I will demonstrate how the category schema is retrieved, how it is structured for the model context and how the metadata is stored into the database as a jsonb object and how this is implemented in the live inklupreneur jobs platform.

### [Connecting AI to any api in under 5 minutes](https://rio-de-janeiro.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_ecx6f_X-5H4)

Model Context Protocol server introduced a new approach to building agentic workflows with ease. Although frameworks are rapidly supporting them, creating these servers may still be cumbersome. This talk will introduce a new way to create MCPs by using a new Typescript framework developed specifically for MCPs

### [PowBlocs - Creating personal desktop software with AI](https://bogota.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_CeLKllT4i10)

PowBlocs is an open-source desktop app that lets you create your own software tools (mini-apps) with AI. These tools have desktop capabilities such as file access and can import packages from npm, JSR, or other external sources. It uses Tauri as the desktop framework and the Deno Runtime for running the backend tasks of the tools in a sandbox. This is a demo of the Tauri/Deno integration I published: https://github.com/carloslfu/tauri-deno-example. The AI part uses Claude and the Vercel AI SDK. I used my knowledge of AI code gen for backends, tex2sql, UI generation, and what I learned from open work such as Aider and articles that reverse engineer V0 and Claude Artifacts to inform the building of PowBlocs. The project is still a work in progress, and I will make the repository public during the presentation.
