Bad faith reply. The government grants do not exist, it's not a failure of imagination, I too would like to live in that world, but we don't and aren't likely to any time soon. And even if we did, do you think that Deno would have been likely to receive a grant? I do not.

You are barking up the wrong tree. Ryan can't do anything to make government grants for this kind of work exist.

It would be a huge public service if you could get more public support for open source. Maybe you could do it instead of criticizing Ryan!

Some public support for this kind of work already exists, especially for the Python science ecosystem, but nothing that comes close to "competing" with VC for a project like Deno.

You should be the change you hope to see in the world and make this happen!
