Deno 2.4 Brings Back deno bundle, Improves Dependency Manage...

Deno 2.4, released on July 2, reintroduces the `deno bundle` feature along with enhancements in dependency management, observability, and module loading, making it more suitable for real-world JavaScript projects. The return of `deno bundle`, now using esbuild, addresses previous limitations and supports both browser and server targets, allowing developers to use a first-party bundling solution integrated into the CLI. This update responds to long-standing developer requests, acknowledging the need for bundling in deployment and build tooling. Additionally, Deno 2.4 simplifies dependency upgrades with the new `deno update` command, stabilizes OpenTelemetry support for better observability, and introduces a `--preload` flag useful for setting up global states. These features, combined with improved support for `tsconfig.json` and incremental Node.js compatibility, mark Deno's evolution towards a more pragmatic and stable runtime, appealing to developers seeking alternatives to Node.js for production environments.
