Sorry again, I see that I forgot to answer your good points about crypto api and permission.

- I think the permission thing is bullshit (and probably a reason enough not to take deno seriously). I'd be interested to be proved wrong (I work on backend security so this is sincere), but it feels like traditional server side isolation mechanims (cgroup, namespace, outgoing http proxy, ...) are well known, work well, seem safer and more flexible and are not nodejs specific, so are better in any system that are not running JS only backend (probably any reasonably large system)

- nodejs now supports the webcrypto API - experimentally (and for what it's worth, I liked the nodejs one better ^^)
