When opening https://deno.land, I see two big buttons: Installation and Documentation.
However, the Installation section doesn't provide a direct link to binaries, instead, there are a lot of methods how to install Deno via Shell, PowerShell, etc. and the following text:
«Deno binaries can also be installed manually, by downloading a zip file at github.com/denoland/deno/releases. These packages contain just a single executable file. You will have to set the executable bit on macOS and Linux.»
If we compare with the Node.js website, on the main page I see a big green download button to the latest binaries and a link to «Other Downloads» with further options:
IMO, such approach provides better UX, especially for newbies, who just want to test Deno.js for the first time. Currently, they need to explore installation documentation for a such plain task as getting the binaries, and, as we all know, every additional and required step reduces amount of people, who actually tries a product.
