quoting from the deno discussion:

I'm guessing this is because MQTT.js contains a browserified version of Node.js's Buffer, and that package tries to change prototypes using proto. This doesn't work because, unlike browsers, Deno doesn't allow proto to be overwritten (relevant issue). One way to fix this (as mentioned here) is to replace all instances of obj.proto = newPrototype with Object.setPrototypeOf(obj, newPrototype).

But actually, it looks like the latest version of browserify's Buffer uses setPrototypeOf instead of proto, so you may just be able to ask the maintainer of https://github.com/mqttjs/MQTT.js to re-browserify the package and publish a new version.

So essentially we should work on re-releasing the browserified package. This should be easy enough. @al6x or @vishnureddy17 do you want to take a stab at it? Just send a PR with the update browserify package.

I should be able to take a stab at it some time mid-week, I'll assign the issue to myself once I get started on it. @al6x , feel free to pick this one up if I haven't started.

Hmm, it actually looks like the most recent version of browserify still hasn't updated the dependency on buffer. So it wouldn't be a matter of simply re-browserifying.

Gonna close this, as MQTT.js won't be able to get to Deno support right now given the current situation with Browserify.
