Where's the angle for the investors - what will Deno do to produce the returns necessary for such a high amount? I thought Deno would be the eradication of Node and bring stability to Javascript. From the outside it seems to be firmly on it's way to being just another Zeit/Vercel. :(

#22> Cold start (time to first response, ms) O(100) O(1000) O(10000) I think ~100 ~1000 ~10000 would be clearer than using the big O notation, since this has nothing to do with fuinctions.
I genuinely don't even understand it. I was either taught wrong, learned wrong or this doesn't make sense. O(100) is constant time, so it's no different to saying O(1) or whatever, I've only ever used O to talk about how we care about the time complexity of a function, e.g. comparing linear time to quadratic time. 1 is the same as 100, irrelevant.

#23Deno deploy seems cool and all, but I haven't seen any great rationale for using their service over say Cloudflare Workers.

#24What does O(100) mean in the comparison table?
It’s used as a comparison to the alternative, O(1000), an order-of-magnitude improvement.

#25What does O(100) mean in the comparison table?
I think they are using O(x) as a shorthand for antilog10(log10(x)±0.5).
Or, in simpler terms, O(x) = “approximately x, to one significant figure”

#26What does O(100) mean in the comparison table?
"on the order of 100ms"
It's misusing big-O notation for "order of magnitude", but after I initially tripped over it, it seemed clear enough.

#27are there real-world, commercial products actually running on """serverless""" architecture? no matter how much I think about that whole concept, I see no application for it that couldn't be done better, faster and easier with regular tools
> are there real-world, commercial products actually running on """serverless""" architecture?
Yeah, thousands I would imagine. The last two companies I have worked at have been 100% serverless or nearly 100%.

Considering you have to ask if there are _any_ products running in a serverless environment, I would imagine you need more exposure to the concept before you make such a large judgement on it.

#28The color changing on this page gives me a migraine: https://deno.com/deploy I like Deno in principle, but I'd love to see how Slack, Github and Netlify are using it.
Weird... it's having the same affect on me, something about slowly fading to white background is making me flinch. Is this a known phenomenon?

If it’s big O notation, it makes no sense because O(10000)=O(1000)=O(100)=O(1).

I'm not particularly interested in serverless but my understanding is a developer doesn't need to know the server configuration and drops some code in. The service figures out how to route the domain to code and handle the storage, caching, etc
I rather know my configuration and use one big server with the static files on a CDN
