⚡Cloudflare has acquired Deno, the company behind the Deno JavaScript runtime.

What it means

Cloudflare is acquiring Deno, the company behind the Deno JavaScript/TypeScript runtime, founded by Node.js creator Ryan Dahl. Deno had built Celld, a self-hosted alternative to Cloudflare Workers, as its main product. Under the deal, Cloudflare will absorb the Deno team and technology to accelerate its Workers platform, particularly for self-hosting use cases. Deno's runtime will receive maintenance updates for another year but will eventually be deprecated in favor of Cloudflare's own runtime.

Accuracy & sourcesSourced

The claim is highly solid, confirmed by official blog posts from both Cloudflare (blog.cloudflare.com) and Deno (deno.com/blog/cloudflare), as well as reporting from TechCrunch, Forbes, and The New Stack. These are primary and secondary sources stating the acquisition details directly.
