I'm a long-time Node user and gave Deno a pretty close look recently. There's a ton to like, but the ecosystem of nodejs modules is hard to overcome, and I spent a lot of time fighting with the subtle differences between them instead of getting things done, whether it was me learning new patterns, having to search for good modules to solve a problem, or having to transpile node modules to deno. That had me in a bad place, but then the sandboxing (which was uniquely suited for my usecase) had a design challenge that blew up the fit for what I was doing. At that point, I gave up on it.
Given what they're doing with Deno Deploy, I almost wonder if the future of Deno is being a vendor-independent version of Cloudflare Workers.
