+### Why Deno?
+
+Meshtastic Web uses Deno as its development platform for several compelling
+reasons:
+
+- **Built-in Security**: Deno's security-first approach requires explicit
+  permissions for file, network, and environment access, reducing vulnerability
+  risks.
+- **TypeScript Support**: Native TypeScript support without additional
+  configuration, enhancing code quality and developer experience.
+- **Modern JavaScript**: First-class support for ESM imports, top-level await,
+  and other modern JavaScript features.
+- **Simplified Tooling**: Built-in formatter, linter, test runner, and bundler
+  eliminate the need for multiple third-party tools.
+- **Reproducible Builds**: Lockfile ensures consistent builds across all
+  environments.
+- **Web Standard APIs**: Uses browser-compatible APIs, making code more portable
+  between server and client environments.
