> ‘Deno’ (like ‘Node’ but backwards)

Yeah, no.

I wonder if more people just assume that to be true, heh. I kind of was expecting it, weirdly enough.

Hint: "node" is "edon" backwards. Not sure if that name is taken for something Javascripty ... * goes to check * yeah, I found [1] which seems to be 4 years old, tagline "Run browser JS in the terminal".

"node".split("").sort.join("")

This is the correct official answer except you didn't invoke sort

"node".split("").sort().join("")

I write a lot of ruby, I guess...

wat

[chrisco255]

Sorting the letters by alphabetical order in "node" by converting each letter to its own string in an array. Slick JavaScript, basically.

[msoad]

yeah but you need to call sort as a function

[justbaker]

OP code would throw an exception. ^^

Deno is No|de swapped. So no, not backwards. But... how would one call it?

[oliwary]

French has a word for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verlan

Verlan is itself verlan of l’envers (backwards). It’s super common to make slang words this way.

[tauchunfall]

TIL that Stromae (the name of a Belgian musician) is Maestro in verlan.

[benatkin]

It's also backwards, but by two character groups, or if you prefer, consonant-vowel groups.

[rootlocus]

little-endian

[barnabask]

Maybe "scrambled".

[robinsonrc]

Rotated

[vlunkr]

Deno, an anagram of node

[throwawaymaths]

Backwards (in Japanese)

Transposed

Deno is Node on a middle-endian architecture (see: the NUXI problem).
