  "summary": "Cloudflare has acquired Deno, the server-side JavaScript and TypeScript runtime developed by Ryan Dahl, the creator of Node.js. The acquisition aims to maintain the runtime for another year before ending its development. Dahl, who now believes that Node.js is not the best choice for building servers, sees Deno's new project, celld, as a step towards simplifying the development of distributed applications. Celld, built on Cloudflare Workers programming model, allows developers to build distributed applications from the start, with scaling built into the programming model. The acquisition also means that Deno will remain open source, and its infrastructure will move to Cloudflare.",
