Cloudflare Acquires Deno to Enhance Its Workers Programming Model
Cloudflare has acquired Deno, the startup behind a popular JavaScript runtime environment. The acquisition aims to improve Cloudflare's Workers programming model and platform, which enables developers to build and run applications on its network infrastructure. Deno was co-founded by Ryan Dahl, creator of Node.js, and Bert Belder. Recently, Deno launched celld, an open-source implementation of the Workers runtime that has been well-received at Cloudflare. Kenton Varda from Cloudflare emphasized that openness is a strategic advantage rather than a tool for vendor lock-in. The financial terms were not disclosed; however, Deno had previously raised $26 million in funding, including a Series A led by Sequoia Capital.
