I tried Deno out extensively last year and found it wasn't really ready for production yet. There's a lof of packages missing to be able to address common use cases, and the node -> deno converters were really hit or miss.

Have you had a good experience with it?

The question didn’t ask about production readiness. But I would say that it depends on your use case.

For example, I think Deno is an excellent alternative to Node for general purpose scripting, but that doesn’t require production readiness.

On the other hand, platforms like Slack[1] and Netlify[2] are betting on Deno for their next generation developer platforms. These platforms are still considered beta, but I think that’s a decent indicator to track status of production readiness.
