One takeaway from this is how Microsoft is killing it currently:
* Much-beloved TypeScript
* Much-beloved VSCode
* Much-beloved GitHub
If they hire Ryan to flesh out his vision for deno we'd probably need a new acronym, MAFANG
On a more serious note, I wonder if deno could support a lower level construct like Observables. As much as Promises are perceived to be an improvement over callbacks, they still have major flaws (only one of which is mentioned in this talk), this is something that Observables can address

- davedx 8y agoTypeScript has async/await built-in, and Deno has top-level await too. Promises won't be necessary most of the time.
- jonreem 8y agoasync/await is powered by promises
- workinthehead 8y agoI've already seen the acronym expressed as FAAMG, which is probably more accurate to start with; Netflix has great performance but is nowhere near the market cap of the other companies.
