Thanks for your response, ry. It's hard to put into words how much I appreciate your work, both on Node and Deno. Honestly, you saved me from a career as a Java dev. :) I've been using Node since 2013 and Deno since 2018 (when it was still written in Go)... I used both first for hobby projects and scripting and later, when they matured, also at work.

I disagree that there's little differentiation between Node and Deno these days. Sure, I love Deno's UX and tooling, but the security benefits Deno has over Node are still the number one reason, we're picking Deno over Node at work. I'm honestly sad we may have to reconsider and switch.

I understand you are working on a new model for server development and I'll take a look at celld for sure. But what about scripts? I have a couple hundred repositories all using Deno for a wide range of scripting tasks. I'd love to continue using Deno for scripting for another 8 years or longer.

I'm just feeling a bit sad, you know. It kinda feels like I'm gonna lose a friend. That happy little dinosaur, now standing in the pouring rain again...
