The trend of VC-backed tooling ending in abandonment rears its ugly head again. But hey, people gotta eat, right? The community will pick up the slack and steward the projects, right?
I really don’t like the entitled tone of that post. Yes, it sucks that it will be officially EOL soon-ish, but blaming the people who move on is not the way to go. But I hope it works out.
Or maybe I’ve just lost all my fucks to give years? ago when they added node compat and pivoted away from the thing I found relatively good. I’m not a heavy user and as long as I can host my “dozens of requests per week” projects on deno.land I will stay there, but maybe it would be easier for me to just migrate those off (again).
You may be aware, but I know I had to backtrack to understand the wording in the post, but the term “EOL” as it was used in the post itself is about author’s upcoming project which I think will be a code forge or something. I tried to find out more and gave all 10% effort for it and I still don’t know what it may be.
It’s not that EOL in your comment is a wrong term, but I wonder if the word appeared in your mind, because you saw it in the post, even if it was about something else.
Eh, it’s hard for me to call it entitled when he’s picking up development himself, not just complaining about it. I’m glad someone’s keeping Deno alive, even though adoption was always a problem and now the one-two punch of a fork and the removal of Node compat means that it will be even harder to find compatible libraries for Ende.
Ironically I was recently considering moving a few of my in-progress projects from Bun to Deno because of Bun’s instability (and acquisition by Anthropic), but now I suppose I’ll just move them to Node. Node has become the Borg at this point: it assimilates its competitors’ strengths and absorbs them. (Remember io.js?)
I would agree with you if the post was “I did a thing and have picked up maintenance” and not “I will do that” (hopefully/maybe/soon).
Maybe entitled is slightly the wrong word, but it’s just as it goes. It’s FLOSS (fully, afaik) and people work on it as long as they want. If they stop because they lost interest or got bought out… doesn’t really matter to me.

At least that short-circuited in my head.

One of my “favourite” websites to visit is https://endoflife.date/ - so I guess it’s really on my mind a lot :P

Pretty sure they’re winding down Deno Deploy in 6 months so unfortunately you will have to migrate.

“as long as possible” would probably have been the better wording :P
