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.

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.

To be honest I always respected Deno and Bin as things trying to push the boundaries. Experiments if you will. They pushed the ecosystem forward and that’s great.

But as for being independently and long-term useful I’m a bit sceptical. So I’d rather have the ecosystem keep experimenting and pushing than sustaining an experiment that has run its course.
