Why is everything so far in this thread worded in past tense? It feels like you're all talking about a long closed chapter of history.

What's the point of it now?

Node improved. It's faster. There's more integration / features.

There's Bun that does a compatible but faster Node that's faster / better than Deno.

So what does it offer?

Deno deploy? It went from ~38? data centers to 12 and is still missing lots of features for a proper production service. The pricing for e.g. bandwidth is through the roof and 1 of its competitors is Cloudflare workers, which offers free bandwidth on 300+ data centers.

I've watched the videos, listened to the talks from the creators on e.g. Deno 2 and still don't get it. What's the edge?
