I don't agree with you, I'm a NodeJs developer and really want to use deno as fast as their ecosystem is being reliable, from the perspective of built in module stability, frameworks, community libraries, etc.

One of the advantages using deno is their module system, You've wrong place when you think this is a replacement for NodeJs, it's like super version of NodeJs, because like the module System without npm is a big win for me, nowadays NodeJs developers are struggling with the big amount of npm module (that's why pnpm so popular), also the security and bloated dependencies are the big issues.

So being able to have a smaller app within the container (like a docker) is a ++. Because npm_modules is not going to be anywhere without this breakthrough, also it is fun to have a small containerized app (with Deno) to scale fast and massively on the production server.

Have you ever heard about Deno is able to compiled as a Binary app? But, still needs an V8 runtime absolutely, and maybe one day that could be a possibility to run like a static binary (like Go)
