Your first Deno program
Deno can be used for many different applications, but is most commonly used to
build web servers. Create a file called server.ts and include the following
TypeScript code:
Deno.serve((_req: Request) => {
return new Response("Hello, world!");
});
Run your server with the following command:
deno run --allow-net server.ts
This should start a local web server on
http://localhost:8000.
