I'm not sure using deno compile as a way of deploying to a controlled environment has much benefit anyway. Unlike some other languages/runtimes, only a single system dependency is really needed (a new-enough deno installation) to run your code

In my view, deno compile is more about shipping command line tools to people with all sorts of personal environments (which may not have deno at all)

I've been really happy with using Deno as a general scripting runtime... A shebang at the top and external dependencies are loaded to a shared path on run.

I do wish there was support for Linux distributions based on musl (Alpine) directly for smaller containers.

In general I like the Deno approach better than Node. Would be cool to see the UI tooling flushed out. A material or fluent based component library where Deno can be used like Flutter would be very cool indeed.
