This is fantastic! I hope they succeed. I love JavaScript as a language, and it would be good for this legal cloud to be gone. I also have to mention that deno, since 2.0, is absolutely fantastic to work with. I didn’t like every decision that they made in Deno 1, and 2 fixed most of my complaints. I don’t see any reason to use anything except deno for any modern JavaScript project.
Yes, sort of, but I'm not sure compatibility is good enough to use as a drop-in replacement. Compatibility does get better with each release. I use it for creating new hobbyist projects and avoid...

I use it for creating new hobbyist projects and avoid npm dependencies, but they do often work. I don't think there's a list anywhere of which npms work and which ones don't.

They don't care about JavaScript, they care about Java. If they release the JavaScript trademark into the public domain, it could potentially be easier to make a case for them releasing the Java trademark as well. That's why they're holding onto it.

Really, calling it JavaScript was a mistake that should have been corrected a long time ago. The community should eliminate any and all confusion by getting rid of the Java and calling it just JScript!

So is Deno a replacement for node.js?
Yes, sort of, but I'm not sure compatibility is good enough to use as a drop-in replacement. Compatibility does get better with each release.

It does in the context of trademark. That is, in fact, the whole point.
