Make sure deno can be added as a node version in nvm #132

Make sure deno can be added as a node version in nvm. This simplifies juggling multiple versions of deno for developers that want to explore newer versions while having to use older versions in certain projects.

Node and Deno are different projects. I don't think you ever will be able to install Deno using nvm. And if you'd like Deno to be integrated into nvm, I suggest you open an issue at the nvm repo.

If you want a nvm replacement for Deno, there's dvm: https://github.com/axetroy/dvm

Reason enough NOT to use deno then. Oh and BTW stop selling it as a safe node fork.

MarkTiedemann commented 4 years ago

It is neither a fork of Node, nor is it sold as one. Don't know where you got that info. Please check the official website, https://deno.land, to see how Deno is actually "sold".

Deno is sold as a secure runtime. In comparison to Node, it certainly has a different, more secure architecture. But again, that does not mean it's sold as Node fork. On the contrary, it is a completely different project so it would not make any sense to sell it as a fork of Node.

Again, Deno not being integrated into the Node Version Manager - which, by the way, is a completely separate community project, not an official Node project - should not be a deal breaker here. There's plenty of ways to install Deno and manage multiple versions of it. If the existing ones don't fit you, please let us know how we can improve the installation process / version management for you.

Then again, if you want Deno to be integrated into nvm, I suggest you open an issue at the nvm repo: https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm
