Nodejs will never die. I love deno but the "module system" makes me wanna puke.

Also there are a lot of people talking about security - while that's true, I doubt it will ever be the main selling point for deno.

I think it's better scripting platform than node.js for the sake of fast executables and natural typescript support.

I kind of like the module system haha. Although having many import statements at the start of each file could get messy, I think it's cleaner then package.json, and removes the reliance on NPM. I don't like e commercial nature of NPM, but I like the potential to be able to import from any URL, without having all the overhead

Good thought on this. I appreciate your comment, thank you ! package.json + node_modules folder is something a lot of developers don't like. I will keep experimenting with Deno in my free time and see what the future will bring.
