I don't want my programming language to "implement" task queues and charge me for it. What is this

edit: people seem to be getting hung up on the "runtime" v "programming language" distinction. I'm not sure why--it's weird to me that this is "part of the language + runtime" at all. Clearly, reasonable people can disagree about that, but hopefully on points more substantive than pedantic

If tomorrow, someone started a for-profit company making a faster Python runtime and introduced features like this, it would be weird, and it would feel as pointless to me as Deno is

You're getting charged for the replication of deno kv across all regions when you use deno.deploy.

KV is free to use locally as I assume this will be too.

Last time I checked deno was a runtime not a programming language

I find deno to be very exciting. Viable business model, great ergonomics, glorious lack of bullshit configuration busywork.

That's great, because JS (and TS, for Deno) doesn't do that. This is just a runtime feature of the engine.

'.deno' files are not drop-in compatible with any other typescript-esque runtime, which I think is a reasonable enough bar to say that its a different programming language. And not just because of the standard library; Deno supports e.g. URL-based import paths, which have very low support in other ECMAScript-ish languages like Node.

Generally: the terms "programming language" and "runtime" are synonymous. There are a few examples where this is not the case (Javascript is definitely the best one; Java/JDK; python). There are hobbyist runtime re-implementations of some languages. But generally: Only academics worry about differentiating them.
