As someone not from a js background, when would I use this? is it a drop in replacement for node with TS support? or something else

Deno will likely be well suited for network oriented server-side programs. Deno is not a drop-in replacement for node. It is an alternative JS runtime.

I think I'll use it for personal system scripts, as JS is the language I am most comfortable in.

I view it as a replacement for node that requires less overall handholding and ceremony.
