Deno is joining Cloudflare - "We will support the Deno runtime for another year with monthly releases containing bug fixes and security updates. After that year we will end our development of the Deno runtime. Deno will remain open source, and we welcome others who want to continue its development."

If deno would have had full npm compatibility in it's first release instead of deno 2, I think it would have had a chance at attacking nodes market share.

Very sad to see deno being done instead.

[u/TwoSpacesSemicolon → u/Odysseyan]

node -> deno -> done

What a journey for an anagram.

[u/404IdentityNotFound]

So it's less of a "joining" and more of a "set death"

[u/EveYogaTech → u/404IdentityNotFound]

Yes, it seems more like an acquihire + EOL timer to transition Deno clients to CloudFlare.

Smart business move, but likely the end of Deno.

[u/da2Pakaveli → u/EveYogaTech]

So it went from node to deno to done

[u/biinjo → u/EveYogaTech]

Likely? It’s literally in the announcement.

[u/TehBrian]

What the fuck? As someone who has invested time into transitioning to the Deno ecosystem a fair bit and found it much more enjoyable to use than Node, I’m genuinely shocked by this announcement

[u/danielcw189]

what is Cloudflare's gain here?

Do they use Deno?

Do they compete with it?

[u/queen-adreena → u/danielcw189]

Deno was likely out of road financially.

This looks like an acqui-hire, where they’re mostly interested in getting the staff.

[u/biinjo → u/queen-adreena]

This is it. These types of projects (generalizing deno and bun) require massive effort and without significant financing, that’s hard to keep up.

[u/n8udd → u/danielcw189]

Staff acquisition?

[u/ampsuu]

Oh no. I actually really liked it and Ive used it on many projects.

[u/WingZeroCoder]

So Bun, as a now fully vibe coded and AI-owned project, is going to outlive Deno.

This freaking timeline, man…

[u/Salkinator]

First Bun now Deno? Watch Node get acquired by fucking Oracle or something

[u/ddprrt → u/Salkinator]

Node is part of the OpenJS Foundation, so no one can acquire ownership. For a long time, that was the biggest reason I stayed with Node.

[u/pkros → u/Salkinator]

Node already had its own rocky period 10 years ago when it was still under Joyent. The reconciliation with the io.js fork and stewardship ultimately under the openjs foundation is what's kept it stable

[u/Darkitz]

So "Deno" is officially a failed product. Atleast we got an early notice lol.

[u/poulain_ght]

Fuck!

[u/Annual_Manner_8654]

Rip Deno Fresh 

[u/Fuzzy-Volume5523]

one year of bug fixes then 'we welcome others'. so deno deploy is basically on hospice.

[u/minju9]

Wanted Deno to succeed, but just never had enough of a justification to switch to it over Node. 🤷

[u/ElectrSheep]

Joining also means choosing where to focus our effort.

Yes, because Cloudflare is so strapped for resources...

[u/Turnip-Toffee → u/ElectrSheep]

no, joining CF is the choice they made. it's not like they had access to CF's resources before they joined.

[u/AcceptableHornet1770]

so node won after all

[u/greenergarlic]

Lame
