very excited to have the
@deno_land team and
@rough__sea join cloudflare! 🧡
workers and deno have been on a parallel journey over the past (nearly) decade or so in improving the fate of javascript on the server side. we have so so much respect for what the deno team has built and have drawn much inspiration from each other over the years!)
one of the big gaps and criticisms of workers over the years has been that it's a platform that locks you in. many people still don't realize that workerd (the workers runtime) is open-source, but that's likely because realistically self hosting it, especially with durable objects has remained cumbersome
that's what's been exciting to us about celld!
thrilled to welcome the team and get started on making self-hosting workers apps a first-class experience!
