I love the idea of deno over Node. Is it getting traction though?

  Not sure about Deno, but alternative runtimes for javascript on the server is popping up a lot of places now. All of the edge hosts are using the V8 javascript engine with their own wrapper.

  I've started using it for more shell scripting... since it's easier to run without worrying about `npm install` for dependencies. Also using it where I'm not tied to Node by a specific dependency. There's some shimming surface towards getting Deno able to run node packages and vice-versa as well as ES-Module packaging of node repositories for use directly in the browser or deno, to more or less success.
