Example from the web:

// Imports `serve` from the remote Deno standard library, using URL.
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std@v0.21.0/http/server.ts";

// `serve` function returns an asynchronous iterator, yielding a stream of requests
for await (const req of serve({ port: 8000 })) {
    req.respond({ body: "Hello, World!\n" });
}

Example from hello-world:

console.log("Hello World");
