The deno compatibility with node has been a lie for me. I tried to port a simple project (100-200 LOC) to deno and it took me an hour which should have been 5-10 minutes. It didn't support some of node's methods and if it did, it was completely undocumented. Had to install basic functionality from some obscure URLS. Onxe it came to porting my test suite I just gave up. The problem was CJS -> ESM transition that was way more painful than I anticipated it to be. And definitely not as simple as deno's docs make it to be. Couldn't just port the whole library
