+# development machines without needing to install deno or any other language. 
+# 
+# Deployment strategy for this project is to only maintain a "latest" release version. Why? 
+# 1. This tool is currently used internally by our team and therefore, no need to maintain multiple versions. 
+# 2. Deno compiled binary files can be larger in size, no use keeping files in the repo that will probably not be used.
