Ryan Dahl 7784b0e17e Move installer to its own repo.

1. This allows the installer to use a more aggressive CI build matrix
   with different version of python.

2. Running the installer during tools/test.py artificially inflates our
   download stats.

3. Running the installer during tools/test.py makes the test script
   dependent on having an internet connection.

4. Running the installer during tools/test.py introduces a race
   condition during release - where it tries and fails to download the
   latest release in build process that should be uploading that release.

A secure TypeScript runtime built on V8

Supports TypeScript 3.0.1 out of the box. Uses V8 6.9.297. That is, it's very modern JavaScript.
No package.json. No npm. Not explicitly compatible with Node.
Imports reference source code URLs only.
```
import { test } from "https://unpkg.com/deno_testing@0.0.5/testing.ts"
import { log } from "./util.ts"
```
Remote code is fetched and cached on first execution, and never updated until the code is run with the --reload flag. (So, this will still work on an airplane. See ~/.deno/src for details on the cache.)
File system and network access can be controlled in order to run sandboxed code. Defaults to read-only file system access and no network access. Access between V8 (unprivileged) and Rust (privileged) is only done via serialized messages defined in this flatbuffer. This makes it easy to audit. To enable write access explicitly use --allow-write and --allow-net for network access.

Single executable:

> ls -lh out/release/deno
-rwxr-xr-x  1 rld  staff    48M Aug  2 13:24 out/release/deno
> otool -L out/release/deno
out/release/deno:
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1252.50.4)
/usr/lib/libresolv.9.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/Security.framework/Versions/A/Security (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 58286.51.6)
/usr/lib/libc++.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 400.9.0)
>

Always dies on uncaught errors.
Supports top-level await.
Aims to be browser compatible.

Status

Under development.

We make binary releases here.

Progress towards future releases is tracked here.

Roadmap is here. Also see this presentation.

Build instructions

To ensure reproducible builds, Deno has most of its dependencies in a git submodule. However, you need to install separately:

Rust
Node
Python 2. Not 3.
ccache (Optional but helpful for speeding up rebuilds of V8.) .

To build:

# Fetch deps.
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/denoland/deno.git
cd deno
./tools/setup.py

# Build.
./tools/build.py

# Run.
./out/debug/deno tests/002_hello.ts

# Test.
./tools/test.py

# Format code.
./tools/format.py

Other useful commands:

# Call ninja manually.
./third_party/depot_tools/ninja -C out/debug
# Build a release binary.
DENO_BUILD_MODE=release ./tools/build.py :deno
# List executable targets.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn ls out/debug //:* --as=output --type=executable
# List build configuation.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn args out/debug/ --list
# Edit build configuration.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn args out/debug/
# Describe a target.
./third_party/depot_tools/gn desc out/debug/ :deno
./third_party/depot_tools/gn help

Env vars: DENO_BUILD_MODE, DENO_BUILD_PATH, DENO_BUILD_ARGS.
