I am involved in a lot of nodejs communities here in EUW and no one is even talking about deno recently.
In my twitter feed the only ones talking about it are those who are asking themselves why it was so over-hyped
The adoption is basically nil.
- mosselman 6y agoWhat are you trying to say? You come over as being threatened by either Deno or parent comment or both. What are your thoughts on Deno then, besides that people around you are not talking about it?
- yulaow 6y agoI don't understand your questions nor your tone. [edit: see posts below, I understand now. Sorry I misread the parent post] I was just contesting the assertion of "switching in droves" by parent post. Find me a case of a nodejs community "switching in droves" to deno if you know some, or even a high impact project in nodejs currently switching to deno, if your intention is to assert that parent's assertion is correct. My thoughts are that atm there is no reason to switch your project(s) to it and that, for the features Deno offers right now, it was indeed severely overhyped
- sturadnidge 6y agoThe OP didn't assert anyone was switching in droves... they were asking what feature of deno would _cause_ that to happen.
- yulaow 6y agoYou are right, I misread. My bad on this one. Now I understand why the other user was curious about the way I answered.
- TheRealPomax 6y agoNo they don't? They're pointing out that anecdotally, Deno seems to be a non-player right now. Which is pretty spot on: it's still very new, and hasn't found a critical application yet (e.g. would Node have taken off the way it did without Express? Probably not). So right now, it's an enthusiast's plaything, even if the architectural principles are much cleaner (wrt modern JS) than Node can ever become - without a rewrite so drastic it'll split the Node community like Perl 5/6 or Python 2/3, at least.
