This is analogous perhaps to C# and F# within .NET currently. C# and F# have the same BCL (base common layer) so you can use C# code in F# and vice versa. WebAssembly is like that and much more.
I've been building my new multiplayer games website [1] with Deno over the last 4 months and apart from some minor growing pains, it's been a joy to use.

> Extending web programming beyond the browser is not a novel idea. Indeed, we have done that with moderate success in our “Node.js” project. But over a decade later, we find server-side JavaScript hopelessly fragmented, deeply tied to bad infrastructure, and irrevocably ruled by committees without the incentive to innovate. As the browser platform moves forward at a rapid pace, server-side JavaScript has stagnated.…

The blog post specifically says that that will not happen
We all know how that turned out to be
History repeats itself, the above two are the recent incidents that comes to my mind
