I was really surprised that cloudflare was acquiring deno to be honest, I have written about this here before, Deno was always sort of dead to me due to how little they cared for compat of all kinds (nodejs, CJS, backwards). It was refreshing to see bun care a lot about it (well, now its on a different path in other ways).
Then I read that paragraph, and it made more sense that they're acquihiring + killing.
The way i see it, cloudflare acquired celld. Deno was just given a decent burial as part of the package

It's an acquihire. They hired the people behind Deno
And seems they want to compete with Anthropic, by having expertise on JS runtimes? A big feature I think is the ability to produce an executable application and have your AI agent-tools work well with that.
