Cloudflare收购Deno：Node.js创始人团队加盟，Deno Deploy将在六个月后关闭
据TechCrunch 10月10日报道，网络基础设施公司Cloudflare宣布收购初创公司Deno——即同名JavaScript/TypeScript运行时背后的团队。Deno由Node.js创始人瑞安·达尔（Ryan Dahl）与伯特·贝尔德（Bert Belder）共同创办，此前共融资2,600万美元，其中A轮由红杉资本领投；本次收购的财务条款未披露。
Cloudflare Workers首席工程师肯顿·瓦尔达（Kenton Varda）表示，公司将用这次收购改进Workers的编程模型与平台。收购的直接契机是Deno近期发布的开源项目celld，它是Workers编程模型的一个开源实现。达尔则表示，团队加盟Cloudflare，是要让Workers编程模型成为构建服务器的主流方式；他与贝尔德将牵头把celld的代码与思路并入Cloudflare的开源运行时workerd。
对现有Deno用户而言，产品路线图的变动更迫切：按Deno方面的公告，Deno运行时将再维护一年、按月发布修复与安全更新，之后团队结束对运行时的开发；托管服务Deno Deploy将运营六个月后关闭，付费客户迁移至Cloudflare Workers时可获迁移支持；包注册表JSR继续运营。
这笔收购是Cloudflare今年系统性收拢JavaScript开发者工具链的又一步。对开发者社区来说，使用Deno的团队需要尽早规划迁移。

Cloudflare Acquires Deno: Node.js Creator's Team Joins, Deno Deploy to Shut Down in Six Months
Cloudflare announced on Friday that it is acquiring Deno, the startup behind the JavaScript and TypeScript runtime of the same name, TechCrunch reported on Oct. 10. Deno was co-founded by Node.js creator Ryan Dahl and Bert Belder and had raised $26 million in total, including a Series A led by Sequoia; financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Cloudflare principal engineer Kenton Varda said the company will use the acquisition to improve the Workers programming model and platform. The immediate catalyst was celld, an open-source implementation of Workers that Deno recently launched; Dahl and Belder will lead work to merge celld's code and ideas into workerd, Cloudflare's open-source Workers runtime.
For existing Deno users, the roadmap changes are significant: the Deno runtime will receive monthly maintenance releases for one more year before the team ends its development; Deno Deploy will shut down after six months with migration support for paying customers moving to Cloudflare Workers; the JSR registry will keep operating.
