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’m happy to see this happen even though I never used Deno as it was VC-backed. Hopefully it will continue to be a source of inspiration for other JS runtimes and I might even use it if it continues to be maintained.
edit: Per-module permissions and sandboxes for untrusted code as they describe their goals would be a major reason to use it, given the security downsides of the npm ecosystem
