I'd love to see a community fork that keeps pushing it forward, and keeps focusing on innovation. Or, just maybe entirely new runtime variations.

Oh, no doubt there's effort involved. But it's also not starting from scratch (on both the community building or codebase) or making a hostile fork. The point is, there are more options here than, "oh well it's dead"

Sorry, that was flippant on my part. You're right

I mean, it's great to see the positive sentiment about Deno... but it *is* an open source project. It's not going away, it's just that the team that's been working on it will be doing other stuff. The ecosystem can easily pick it up and run with it.

Mostly, of course, due to agents.

Fun fact.. Node.js was downloaded nearly 900 million times in July alone.

True. It doesn't help to keep pushing something that is just... Done. But choice in the ecosystem is essential to avoid stagnation. I'd hate to see the experimentation stop.

Definitely. The repo isn't going anywhere and there's lots of time to work out an open governance approach for it. Think we just need to hear more about what the ecosystem wants to see happen.

One thing I'm hoping to come out of this is that Deno... or at least a derivative of it, is picked up by someone in the ecosystem and continued. We need choice and diversity in the ecosystem.

Some key important bits... Deno will continue to receive bug and vuln fixes for at least the next year. JSR will continue to run and be supported.

Conceptual... All the people

Companies have a deep rooted *obligation* to invest in human development and connection more than they do in AI development. Companies that fail to do so will ultimately not survive whatever we historically end up calling this transitional period we find ourselves in right now.
