Like Just-JS has amazing performance [1], but the author is "just" (a very amazing/talented) benchmark hacker and not necessarily trying/wanting to put in the effort to have "a node replacement" and/or extend his Techempower-specific optimizations into APIs/libraries that would affect the performance day-to-day business apps (which I don't blame him for).
Deno is kinda :shrug: b/c its original "great security" pitch doesn't really matter to anyone who runs in containers.

- Mutjake 4y agoAs a quick note, while containers offer a degree of isolation, depending on your use case you might not want to put too many eggs into that basket (Linux privilege escalation bugs do happen). E.g. Firecracker VM is a relatively easy improvement to make of course, and on cloud env the container isolation might be Amazon’s/Microsoft’s problem. Just figured it would be good to mention not to see containers as a silver bullet, while they are better than not using containers on a shared host (and a useful tool in general :-)
