On top of the fact that Bun is now acquired by Anthropic, Deno is also either:
1. Pivoting to Cloud (for AI Agents to use Deno)
2. Looking for an exit to an AI lab or infrastructure partner.
Note that AI mostly does well on Python, JS and Typescript code so he has an incentive to align Deno on this angle.
It also doesn't help that Ryan has done a Google Brain residency where he studied deep learning (which boosts this "authority" on his silly absolutist statement)
Sequoia are asking Ryan "when return on investment, how can we have an exit like what Bun has done"?
