#2It's still very early days.
Personally I think realms will change the game, there's probably a year or so out, but perhaps we'll see that retrofitted into node as well.
It will be more interesting to see how the landscape changes in 5 years - though, obviously, node is still going to be prevalent.

I agree. I'm also excited about them finally adding npm support. I've toyed around with Deno quite a bit and really enjoy it, but the lack of an ecosystem got to me after a while .
I haven't found a straightforward way of using extensions to SQLite, for example, and unfortunately I don't have the time to implement one myself.
And to be honest even with the addition of realms, npm support etc. [1], I'm still not quite sure if Deno is only a more elegantly designed, less adopted version of Node that's trying to fix something which ain't really all that broken.
