Here’s how they addressed momentum:

> Since the release of Deno 2 last October - barely over six months ago! - Deno adoption has more than doubled according to our monthly active user metrics.

The obvious question is: doubled, but compared to what? And what are they measuring? They’re not disclosing any real metrics on adoption.

I think what happened is that people were giving them the benefit of the doubt because they were new and you could imagine huge growth. The disappointment is by comparison to vague hopes and dreams.
