Finally someone with the same opinion, that's what I'm trying to say, but apparently there are those who don't like to read that Deno is not going to replace Node. Both can co-exist pushing innovation on both sides. This happened when Node was "private" or going "private" and IO.js came out and after all, they both merged into the same project. I am not saying that the same thing will happen here, but this gives room for new ideas and innovation.

Dang, I completely forgot that IO.js once existed. I had not been developing in Node during that time, but I imagine that those were some quite divisive times in the JavaScript community.

"Coexisting" is definitely the key word to your comment. I completely agree.

Are there people who genuinely believe Deno will replace node? I see articles with the title “Will Deno Replace Node?” But I always just assume it’s clickbait. Betteridge’s law of headlines applies—any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word “no.”
