   I've been thinking about restarting work on #Tapir. Development stopped because I hit a wall with the database system. Writing Tapir in #Deno was a long sequence of yak-shaving without much payoff; most of my dev time was spent implementing JSON-LD, Web Signatures, and a database layer that *should* have been a library if Deno had better Node compatibility at the time.

     It's been a while, and the Deno ecosystem has improved a lot. Drizzle looks promising as an ORM layer (better than my hacked-together one), and more Fediverse projects in Deno are popping up (#Fedify looks really cool!). But I'm rethinking Deno.

     There were 3 things that drew me to Deno initially:

     - Ease of install (just run the app from a URL)
     - Cloud platforms (Deno Deploy w/ Deno KV)
     - JavaScript (I know the language, and it has a big ecosystem)

     But all 3 didn't work out the way I planned.
