Thanks for your comment.

Yes, Node.js has updated a lot recently and with some configuration can bring in more modern JavaScript syntax. I just appreciate that Deno has all of this by default. Whereas, as you mentioned, features like top-level await in Node.js require some set up.

Also, some people still use the callback style. It will take a while for everyone to catch up and for people to take on new programming styles. Deno just provides a way to skip that process and work with a more modern API without legacy issues.

Either way, I'm excited for the Deno project :)
