I loved David Bushell's writing. Very entertaining as always.

I do agree many of Deno's products are in decline.

But I think deno is by far the superior typescript/javascript runtime. And deno can be run on many reputable edge providers. So deno deploy is not necessary. It's too bad because I did like the simplicity of deno deploy, but other edge provides seem to be good too.

Some of it does indeed need tweaking to get it work. But I find many amazing pieces of software written for Deno. And I find deno's tooling and security way more mature than node or bun.

As long as the tooling stays good and the runtime is updated. I'm staying.

I will be willing to switch to bun if the tooling/security gets good. I should revisit bun to see if it is now good. To my knowledge bun does not have granular permission levels like Deno. I don't understand why the runtime should have access to everything by default. I much prefer deno's way of doing things.



Deno Deploy is a failure because it's not alluring to pay per request, especially with endpoints exposed to the open web.

Deno is still better than node and its sort of a swiss army knife for developing servers in Typescript fast.


Which reputable edge providers? Besides Bunny, I don't think another exists.
