If it's for the future, why not use something even newer than Deno, because clearly newer === better?

But on a more serious note, what could they possibly stand to gain to use Deno instead of NodeJS at this point? The languages are mostly the same, the tooling slightly different. Sounds like it'd add a lot of changes just for the sake of changing things. Not to mention newer stuff usually are less tested and higher chance of not working.

Speaking about newer, has Deno received any sort of security audits? Tauri is pretty focused on security, so one could assume that'd be a requirement before even considering Deno.

Deno does not use NPM, so there are huge gains to be made in that regard.

That seems like a huge loss in terms of productivity. In what way is that a gain?
