Deno vs Node 24 security
Whats the general opinion on security when compared to the new node v24 which has the permission model? I am trying to push deno for a service that has a lot of power and they are pushing back saying that node will give the same protection with 24.

they are pushing back saying that node will give the same protection with 24.š«¤ the two are only comparable in the sense of those naive/misleading comparison tables that would just show "permissions" ā ā ā ā on landing pages and AI blog spam articles right now. their either extremely green an/or haven't read into it at all (or have made up their mind and are talking out of their asses because they don't care). Node's only file access right now rather than the mature network, env, sys etc. permissions in Deno; you could be happily plodding along in production for years before node catches up (if at all). I'm not a security expert but that there's an experimental flag for running workers and WASM in node is making me suspicious, Deno just handles them natively...
