I am a long-time Node.js user. My question about Deno is "is there any indication that this project will have a different trajectory from the node.js project (also started by some of the same people as Deno), or should I expect Deno to also follow a 10 year arc?"

I think evolution & starting over can both be appropriate steps forward, I don't question the Deno project, but to have the exact same people who created Node.js say "OK here's the new new JS hotness," I think "how can we expect this time to be different" is a reasonable question. Or perhaps these ecosystems are not meant to last/be supported more than 10ish years?
