2) It's easy for Deno to say "get a distributed app running at the edge!" when the hard part is having distributed data which they don't solve. If you don't need distributed consistent data then you're probably more than fine with a monolith with a CDN.

This is not targeted at you but at naive JS developers. JS has millions of users, if they can deceive a good chunk of them with their marketing, then they can make money.

Edge isn't only JS - it's potentially any language with WASM. Deno? sure. But surely you aren't conflating JS with Edge.

Surely you aren't conflating WASM/JS with edge, it's any edge service that can run docker :)
