Developer switches from Deno back to Node.js

Original: Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend Article URL: https:// dbushell.com/2026/10/03/deno-t o-node/ Comm

Web developer David Bushell has published a blog post explaining why he abandoned Deno, the JavaScript runtime once touted as a modern alternative to Node.js, and returned to Node for his projects. The piece, shared on Hacker News, is drawing attention as part of an ongoing debate among JavaScript developers over whether Deno and Bun have meaningfully displaced Node in production work.

Why now: Developers are debating whether Deno still justifies switching away from the dominant Node.js runtime.
