I’ve never been interested in JS as I mostly work in C++ but the ease of install/use of Deno over Node made me actually want to try it. It’s nice to have access to a bunch of web tech with a single binary. Very excited to see where this project goes!

I played with an early version of Deno a few years back and it was already way more comfortable to use than node. It's a real counterexample to second-system syndrome.

The only reason I didn't continue was a lack of ARM support.

+ People get paid, hopefully a few even get big $. - Investors want unicorn returns. Good luck!

I think they should get a reasonable return. Deno has a lot of hype and Node has a lot of cultural weight, as does Ryan himself. Not sure about unicorns though! It does not seem like a unicorn product, but I'm not a VC

Surprised this is the case because I use their Rust v8 bindings on an ARM laptop almost every day. Have you tried building it from source?

I think ~100 ~1000 ~10000 would be clearer than using the big O notation, since this has nothing to do with fuinctions.
