deno is refreshing, but i don't like the fact that it is married with typescript and has built-in support for this and that library. should've been framework agnostic from the start and not marketed as this batteries-included thing.

also, this creates more fragmentation in the node/web community which i don't really see the need for. being compatible with node/npm just carries with it the warts and problems instead of getting rid of them.

Typescript syntax is fully backwards compatible with JavaScript, so you actually aren't forced into using TypeScript at all.

Just change the file extension and it just works™
