I think they will slowly close the functionality gap until Deno does the most common 80% of stuff Node does. Then you factor in how Deno will be fundamentally more performant - we will see large companies who can't squeeze another cycle out of Node write blog posts about how they switched to Deno. And lastly, NPM is a tire fire. The left-pad and faker hits will keep coming, on top of an almost daily procession of new security vulnerabilities in deep dependency trees. Something so bad could happen here that ppl sour on Node. So I think Deno stands a chance. They just need to keep implementing and bide their time. A moment could come.
