It’s not “obscure” or “exotic;” at least, no more than Node was when it was released. Honestly this is such a lame take to those of us who are working in JS outside of Node and Deno.

And people do work at that intersection.

IMO Deno is the worst option of all new JS runtimes and taking on this fight kind of makes sense that way. If you can’t win mindshare, start a fight. I guess. (In my opinion they should have simply designed Deno to be NPM compatible, but here we are.)

Deno is NPM compatible

Only recently... and yes, to Deno's great credit. Deno has an amazing team and this isn't commentary about their hard work; just disagreement with one of the early decisions.

`is:open is:issue label:bug label:"node compat"` -> 203 issues currently open.

Neat. But for a relevant query, try searching for "npm" instead. 0 issues listed. Further, in the `deno_npm` repo for npm resolving by the deno cli, there are two open issues. One is a feature request, and the other is not clearly an important issue.

`is:issue is:open npm` 467 open

https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aop...

`is:issue is:open label:bug npm` 199 open

For the record, "NPM compat" probably does include many feature requests (legitimately), not just bugs.
