Deno uses v8 too, that would be just comparing libuv to Tokio.
As if everything else is the same. It is a completely independent code base.

Not exactly, the heavy lifting is done by v8 on both sides. Deno can do lots of things around the ergonomics, and switch around the event loop (though libuv is already pretty good), but outside of that they are mostly equivalent.
