"It's important to understand that Deno is not a fork of Node - it's a completely new implementation. "

New implementation of WHAT? Is this a JS Engine, or a wrapper around V8? Which version?

Guys - whatever it is - I love it (!!!), but this is a very long and wordy article that does not well summarize the most relevant things, and uses words, long explanations for issues that I think are just a little specific.

"First Class Typescript" - does this mean just 'transpilation at runtime'? Or does it mean something more hardcore? What does it mean at all?

This could be 1/2 as long a 2x more explanatory and precise.

Finally - it all looks super cool - but why specifically am I interested in this over things like Node? Speed, security?

Not to take away from the great work.
