I sense that I've touched a nerve and I'm sorry for that. May I ask what you believe I'm gatekeeping?

Could you offer some examples, so that I can learn?

I would agree with your statement that Deno removes idiosyncrasies of server-side JavaScript, but that's when viewed from a front-end-first perspective (ie. the predominant and perfectly reasonable perspective of code camp graduates that I've worked with).

"Deno is primarily being pushed by developers who cut their teeth in React-based code camps who are looking for (understandably) a wave to ride into "full stack" software development"

That sounded a bit like the "imigrants stealing our jobs" argument.

Not just the frontend perspective, but also the ECMAScript perspective, in which even Node.js creators participate.

I see that, thank you. Perhaps it would have helped if I'd added the word "experience" to the end.

I sense that Deno is primarily being pushed by developers who [graduated from] React-based code camps who are (understandably) looking for a wave to ride [toward] "full stack" software development [experience].

Could you point me to concrete examples?
