why npm is not support for deno?

[sunw31]

let us do a assume...

npm cli can know current workspace is deno project or nodejs project

npm i xxx

npm cli can auto install deno module or nodejs module

so

every developer can publish their module in npm easily support nodejs or deno

npm ecosystem is really big importance.

This was covered in #10566 (reply in thread):

npm is owned by GitHub which is owned by Microsoft which is a publicly traded company. It is more appropriate to say that the npm registry is a closed platform with closed governance. It has been a desire by Deno to not force users to lock-in to a single closed ecosystem.

for me supporting Npm in Deno isn't a concern. If a package that's in Npm can run in Deno, you can link the package from Skypack or esm.sh that's what I do when I use Firebase JS SDK, Notion Client & GraphQL Yoga.
