Not the parent, but one very nice aspect is that an entire working Deno installation is just one file: the actual deno executable.

...when installing via homebrew on Mac you get 3 more files which look like shell-completion definitions:

    bin/deno
    etc/bash_completion.d/deno
    share/fish/vendor_completions.d/deno
    share/zsh/site-functions/_deno

Both Node.js and Bun are also single executables. Node.js doesn't (yet) transpile TS for you, and that's a single dependency away.
