Ryan is the creator of NodeJS. He's a Google Brain alumni, and in his free time he programs bees and other small insects that he's implanted with microcontrollers using JavaScript.

Yuki and Sean use Reason at OneGraph. On Tuesday nights, you can catch them doing their famous David Bowie "Under Pressure" duet at Kareoke clubs around the city.

[1] Deno is a new command-line program for executing JavaScript and
TypeScript built using V8, Rust, and Tokio. The goal is to provide
users with a convenient tool for dynamic programming using familiar
browser-like APIs. Trading backward compatibility for modernity, Deno
is built around the new "ES module" standard. Third party imports are
done via URLs, which Deno can fetch out-of-the-box, thus providing a
standards-based distributed module system. Like in the browser, by
default code is securely sandboxed - so users can run unaudited
scripts with some confidence.
