I feel kind of sad (SQL Angular Deno) that everyone's going gaga and jumping on the Deno bandwagon when Deno is really just a glorified "Node-plus-TS-built-in-clone-also-built-on-V8-but-lacking-npm" when there's other technology which is really that much more innovative, like Elixir or Rust (both of which promote FP - functional programming).

Deno is "new" and that's it, I fail to see what's revolutionary about it.

My main intent here was just some light hearted humour but I totally agree with you on this one. At first I was also super pumped for Deno but after playing around with it for a while I realised the only thing I liked was the extra security. It is cool and all but for me it is not something I would want to move to Deno for.

Haha, totally right ... I do appreciate the humor, and good that we agree on this. Deno is okay but we can say it's a little bit over-hyped.
