On the other hand, at $DAYJOB, being able to say that Deno has access to everything node can do goes a long way. Not having to reinvent the wheels is definitely nice!
It also makes you question the priorities of the project, given that this is still early days. If the supposed focus on security is already being compromised on and whittled away today, would a recommendation to build with Deno even prove meaningful in 5 or 10 years?
