I am pretty much in agreement with Ben Awad's opinion in his video. Technically Deno is pretty cool, and I like TypeScript and Rust, but unless Deno has a blessed dependency management strategy and a good compatibility story with Nodejs and npm, I don't see it growing out of the niche easily.

Unfortunately, Deno is born out of Ryan Dahl's regrets about Nodejs, which means it would be hard for him to accept the same perceived warts back in.

EDIT: Or, if some huge communities decide to migrate to Deno entirely such as Angular, React or Vue, then that would boost Deno right out of niche too.

I saw the video and I also agree with him , mainly the fact about the incompatibility between existing libraries and the new deno apis, it seem that this can be a issue in which the community will play a huge roll
