Well this is very stupid. Why not move Deno to be based on workerd or something? or vice versa? throwing it away is such a waste.

I still find it breathtaking that anybody ever thought it was a good idea to develop a web server in a single-threaded language. And apparently huge numbers of people still do.

Wow, so React Native and Deno both effectively have nails in their coffins. I wonder what's next.

What happened to React Native? Is it going to be discontinued as well?? We have quite a few customers using it, so we provide a SDK for it. Could be interesting if we can retire that.

Probably is that Shopify shocking betrayal about going back to Kotlin and Swift, acknowledging AI coding is there giving the upper hand.

This is mostly to be expected.

After Deno did layoffs we saw a consistent decline in announcements and innovation.

Sad day, but unsurprising.

Does Cloudflare already use Deno under the hood then? Like the Anthropic -> Bun aquisition

Does this mean that celld is dead? No more open source durable objects?

Wow. Just about to choose Deno for something. That not only makes me rethink Deno but ... rethink a lot of things ...

my recent comment [0]: was deno was the only other tech player building a proper serverless platform to bring Cloudflare workers in an open source manner.

will they continue that work ?

otherwise this is a proper acquisition. t

the CF blog post suggests that is what the Deno team will be working on: combining workerd and celld for true self hostable workers/DOs

This is actually awesome news believe it or not. I'm excited b/c i think there's a lot of potential in the world w/ deno's team being on solid footing w/ cloudflare.

I know the runtime is in trouble, but i'm not as worried tbh b/c the principles deno championed are going to keep going.

What ? They are literally stopping development in a year.

You think the open source community will be able to continue deno? Did you miss the part where they're stopping development on it?

Can we rename title to "Deno is winding down" ? It's not joining cloudflare. the people are
