Is deno successful? I (in my limited world) don't know anybody using it and don't see it mentioned in job descriptions etc.
And to comparing to other languages: It's not like "ok, projects became to big we need better package management" or something, but to me reads more like "there's too little deno stuff and migration prevents people from going here, so let's try to embrace the other runtime's stuff so maybe more people can use our runtime without having to start from scratch"
- IshKebab 4y agoI think there's quite a big gap between success and being more popular than NPM. Plus it's only a few years old. Job adverts are usually several years behind what companies actually use and companies are behind what hobbyists use. I'd say it is on a successful trajectory. The main issue with it was NPM compatibility so I think this is a very very wise move, even if it is pragmatic rather than ideal.
