I'm actually a little disappointed by NPM compatibility. Or at least conflicted. Deno has felt like an opportunity to reboot the server-side JS ecosystem into something far more sensible than it currently is. Not that anyone is to blame for what it is, really, but you learn lessons and move forward. Sometimes making breaking changes.
This seems like an acceptance that moving on simply won't happen. The existing ecosystem is too big and too powerful to be ignored. If I were a particularly cynical person I'd also point to Deno taking on millions in VC funding - once you've done that you can't be content to create a perfect, gleaming sandbox. You have to bring in money.
