> Deno as great as it sounds doesn't offer enough benefits (...) Deno feels just like an opinionated node/Typescript distribution with too little improvements

Node is 11 years old. In the beginning, it was rough around the edges, too. I think you need to be a bit more patient until Deno reaches a similar level of maturity.

When node came out it was a perfect storm: Ryan did a brilliant job, right timing, right product, laser-sharp focus and x times better than the past (I liked node right from the beginning) and he was fast. All things I miss from Deno.

But I don't blame Ryan, he is a great guy, created the biggest server-side dev ecosystem and it's hard to top such an achievement but at least he tries and this is why I like him.
