There's a lot to *really* like about Deno... I know there's a few areas that are a bit more difficult, and a lot of things in Node, with no similar libraries in sight for Deno.
That said, I've played with it a bit, and I like a lot of it. I hope that more libraries and projects become compatible with published releases.
I do think the library framework release system is a bit different and could lead to some interesting innovations. I'm not completely convinced it's that much better than npm, but it definitely feels easier.
