Yeah, I'm hella confused.

Isn't Deno the Node.js replacement?

But now it's a database as well?

It's jumped the shark for sure.

I think people are hung up on a distinction between language and runtime that isn't that valuable and maybe doesn't even reflect normal use.

For example erlang ships a persistent KV store, queue, relational database and much more as part of its standard library. I've never heard anyone complain about this or wish it were otherwise.

OTP isn't part of a cloud solution and there is zero lock-in to any kind of commercial offering as part of the batteries that are included in it.
