I'm not exactly what I said about NodeJS that could apply to Deno.
> NodeJS is a FOSS project under the Linux foundation
Deno is not maintained by a non-profit organization, and Deno Land Inc are unlikely to want to let someone else control their project, that'd be kind of suicidal.
> is not driven by profit
The organization who maintain Deno is explicitly for-profit, meaning it has to be driven by profit. If they give the project to the Linux Foundation, I guess that could change, but again, unlikely they'd do something like that.
> NodeJS learned from the whole Npm Inc history and tries to remain more independent from for-profit companies
Deno arguably did learn from that story and did package management differently. They didn't avoid the whole for-profit angle, as again, the maintainers are working for a incorporation.
> Contributors tired of slow pace of NodeJS
As far as I can tell as an outsider, Deno seems to be moving forward at a decent speed and I haven't seen any noise in their community about a possible fork because of slow development pace.
