Oh god, this is so great.  Prime reading Ryan Dahl, from 2011.

Early early early days of Node (0.4.x...pre 1.0!!! I was there at that birthing..."JS on the server? JS everywhere?" Epiphany of the time.)

Deno is further along now than Node was then.  But man!!...the emotional insights and vibes...all that "technical PTSD" triggering these galant herculean attempts to pave the pain of the underlying heaving and frothing UNIX turing-tarpit with some kind of real "long term, maintainable, standards based simplicity tooling" is such rich sauce.

"The [ONLY] thing that matters in software is the experience of the user."

Love this so much.
