For the Windmill [1] project, we wrap deno to make it the backbone of a self-hostable infra to run scripts (like aws lambda), workflows (like temporal/n8n) and UIs (like retool). This release is amazing for a few reasons. We leverage enormously that you can define script with dependencies in the same file and provide a monaco editor backed by the deno lsp through websockets. So without deno, windmill would not be possible. We also support python too but it's a much slower as a language and make more sense for slow, long-running processes like ML.

Every little improvements to npm compatibility actually unblock a very wide range of npm packages to now 'just work'^tm. I would have been interested to get numbers of incompatible library but `npm:crypto` has been the biggest blocker for our users.
