The story of how node got here is knotted and it's no one person or org's fault but I think it's fair to call it a debacle https://twitter.com/aredridel/status/1305189357683462144

and I don't say this to be rude - a lot of really smart people have made the best decisions they possibly could have over many years, it's just that those decisions in the aggregate left us with a shituation

wondering if a clean break a la deno is the way out of this mess. I'm deeply skeptical of deno, a lot of the features its front page touts are things I don't really want and the features I do want aren't touted, but it's not like node was the first server side js runtime either
