Thanks! I really think that all the hype is a bit exaggerated. Sure, Deno is really interesting, but to call it Node.js replacement right now is a gross overstatement.
Somewhat true. Vue is, after all, just another UI framework (BTW, check mine if you're interested 😅), but WASM, IMHO, is something more. Sure, it's not a JavaScript replacement as some might thought it to be, but it allows developers to bring some really immersive experiences to the Web platform. The hype was, again overexaggerated, but only because WASM serves a very specific and small (even smaller back then) niche of resource-heavy web apps like games or heavy productivity apps, which are rather in the minority on the Web.

I fully agree on that. Tho, what I meant was, when it first came out (around '17 or '18), the hype level was like: it's an absolute necessity to use it for a calculator app, just to show all the 'cool kids' on the block you are familiar with it too, hahah :)

The is the most unbiased and well written review of the hype around Deno. Kudos

reminds me of wasm and vue hype
