I wonder if deno will ever converge with node the way io.js did.

Not really, because it's not a fork and is written in a different language.

There are apparently plans to add a deno-style permission system to Node (I think there is experimental support behind a flag in one of the recent builds) but I don't think it will become the default the way deno does it, at least not in the foreseeable future.

I put this in another comment also but yeah, the permissions feature is documented here https://nodejs.org/api/permissions.html
It definitely seems that Node is surfing in deno's wake here and taking heavy inspiration from some of the more successful features.
I guess remains to be seen if this will follow in something like the Java / Scala / Kotlin model or if it'll lead to more of a merge a la io.js - I tend to think that a merge fits better since we're dealing with runtimes and not separate languages, but I think the former model could work too.
Either way, great thing for the ecosystem!

unless node convert to Rust, the future is Deno or rust based approach. The main reason to NOT use node is the who C backend.
