Much of Node.js is written in C, yet it's still called Node.js.

Deno has some JavaScript/TypeScript in it. On GitHub https://github.com/denoland/deno is 22.8% JavaScript and 13.2% TypeScript, and https://github.com/denoland/deno_std is 68.2% JavaScript and 31.6% TypeScript.

So to me the title is misleading about the name (Deno is certainly not named Deno.js), but not about what Deno is written in.
