I'm trying to understand this. Cloudflare wants the people to work on different priorities or cloudflare wants deno to die?
In the case of the latter, I'm wondering why. Most of cloudflares architecture like workers support js runtimes so wouldnt investment into deno be more strategic than other priorities
I'm more thinking of "Deno (the company) lost interest/faith in Deno (the runtime), so they were looking for an out". They like working with runtimes, so Cloudflare is probably a good choice.
I guess this is why so much core staff left suddenly some months ago.
It’s likely that this could be true but they simply have something else they want the acquihired to work on and feel Deno would be a distraction. At least they’re being honest with it instead of letting development stall and all the ill will that comes with the usual slow death by acquisition

Brilliant take, this is why I come here. Cut through the "our amazing journey" BS.
