This is a bad analogy, it is more like if the Tokio runtime was built by a VC backed business which is really not that bad. Honestly the anti business sentimen

Honestly the anti business sentiment on HN is just becoming annoying. Get shamed when not building OSS, get shamed if you take VC money, etc. People are supposed to be saints that work for free so you can then take that and build your own proprietary stuff? Seriously...
- veidr 3y agoPrecisely. So much of the negativity in this thread (and elsewhere) weirdly conflates Deno with a language. Deno is an open source runtime for TypeScript (and JavaScript and WASM). One that has been delightful, in my experience, for system scripting, build tooling, and CLI apps. Deno Deploy is a hosted runtime that is very similar, but not open source. The complaining in this thread reads to me like people complaining that the company that makes AWS Lambda also makes DynamoDB. This new Deno KV is a fantastic addition to both of their runtimes. Dead simple, no need to sign up for some other service, works out of the box in either case. But nobody is forcing you to use it. You don't have to opt out of it. If you don't like it, then you can go use all the other database layers that you could before this announcement.
