Deno and Node are not generally compatible:

- their module/packaging systems are totally different

- their APIs for interacting with the system are different



It took a friend and I 2 days last year to build a compatibility layer that allowed to run all the tests of Deno on Node.


How far along is the story of cross compilation for the two ecosystems?



I had no joy trying to get a node JIRA library to run under deno with the various platforms. So still some way to go. Didn't seem far off. IIRC axios was the problem.
