The killer feature is that it offers nothing new or distinguishing. It looks like other JS elsewhere. It offers WebSockets via the same sort of WebSocket support you'd have in the browser. You read files via the FileReader api you'd use in the browser.
The killer feature is native developers who have an easy te embedding or writing add-ons for deno, not end of line developers.
This killer feature / mass adoption mindset is such an ugly poison. The size of a community is far down the list of considerations, a proxy only for easy consumability & fitting within current pop-culture sensibilities myths & current styles. Think different. Look for what really may matter.
