Deno Is Joining Cloudflare
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Deno team joins Cloudflare; Deno runtime support ends in one year.
The entire Deno team is joining Cloudflare. They will combine their work on celld with Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects. The Deno runtime will receive monthly updates for one year, then development ends. Deno remains open source for community continuation. Deno Deploy will operate for six months before shutting down, with migration support for paying customers to Cloudflare Workers. JSR will continue operating, moving its infrastructure to Cloudflare. The team will continue supporting rusty_v8 and work toward integrating it into workerd.
What commenters are saying
The dominant reaction is dismay that Deno the runtime will be discontinued after a year. Many commenters call this the real headline, hidden in the post. Several express concern for projects and companies that migrated to Deno. A minority notes celld merging with workerd as a positive direction for Cloudflare's open-source runtime. One comment points out the Cloudflare blog post omits Deno's discontinuation, drawing criticism.
