Although I don't use Deno, I'm impressed by Deno's efforts to make the installation and deployment process as easy as possible.
For example, Deno is installed as a single runtime exe. Compare that to the hundreds of tiny files spewed out by installers from other interpreted languages.
And now we have this service to deploy Deno apps in the cloud. I have long felt that easy deployment of server-based web apps has been seriously neglected and developers underestimate how important it is (particulalry if your are creating a web app that you want to share or sell to others). It's no surprise that SaaS dominates today when the self-hosted alternative is so ludicrously complicated in comparison.
It's ironic that some of the most popular interpreted languages for web apps (like Python and Ruby) are the opposite of easy when it comes to server/cloud deployment.
I hope Deno's efforts in this space will encourage developers from other languages to tackle this sorely neglected problem.
