This is awesome. The Cloudflare platform is great; being able to run more of it locally is a definite plus.

Disappointing. Everything I want to express about this is impolite.

I guess I can say that this means Deno won't ever have a much needed Python 3 moment.

really wondering what role celld played in the negotiations

From CloudFlare's side (https://blog.cloudflare.com/deno-joins-cloudflare/) is seems celld was the main point of this - letting the Deno team focus on making workerd self-hosting easier.

Damn that is a shame. I liked pretty much everything about Deno. Especially great for scripting.

I'll probably move to Rust for scripting I reckon. It's not very mature but hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Fresh was also the best web framework I've used. Oh well.

Congrats. But also terrible news for the ecosystem; this project was a bit doomed from the start, and they acknowledge it multiple times (implicitly), but nice to have competition, I guess.

Ultimately I only trust Node.js to succeed. Bun being too deep into "shipping anything that increases usage".

Bun is claude code now. Not gonna touch it.

Deno was a nice alternative with easy configuration and I loved KV and running it on a VPS.

It's sad how it worked out. Bun really stole Deno's momentum. Deno's foundational trust model really feels like its what the JS community needs. There were so many genuine improvements over Node that I don't think Node can ever just adopt

And now if you heard it, Deno is dead. 1 more year of support and they all got hired to work at cloudflare instead

sorry, but who even is still working on Deno? All my friends who used to work on Deno got fired
