I think Deno is a mistake at this point... Yes we thank Ryan Dahl for his huge contributions to integrating libuv and v8 outside of a browser to create node.js but a lot of work has been created by a huge ecosystem of developers after this. I think this de-facto fork of node.js will only serve to create fragmentation, and confuse product owners about which platform to use.


If We were all follow your rationale, We will be all programing in COBOL still. Accept the pain of experiment and growing up.


Sometimes splitting a community is worth it, but it shouldn't be a decision made lightly. And Ryan Dahl should consider his words bear weight as the original creator of the platform. I think it's a fair issue for critique.
