Thing is - unless you really love JS for some weird reason, then deno is competing with established languages like “go” that have a great web server in the standard library. In addition to competing with node which is fine! Apart from it’s insane package management situation. Which most people just kind of shrug at

Exactly. If you are going to part with the very large node ecosystem, I'm not sure why you would keep JS :)
There are people who exist that just like the language.
JS is already a popular language for "DevOps" cloud scripting. Deno would be a better fit for these kinds of use cases for the same reason Go is a good fit and there's already market share.
