Didn't know about Oracle using Node as an example of them building/selling things utilizing the "JavaScript" trademark. I think the post's framing of this being fraudulent is accurate, but even if it didn't legally qualify, it is at the very least extremely dishonest and unethical.
It’s not “obscure” or “exotic;” at least, no more than Node was when it was released. Honestly this is such a lame take to those of us who are working in JS outside of Node and Deno.
And people do work at that intersection.
IMO Deno is the worst option of all new JS runtimes and taking on this fight kind of makes sense that way. If you can’t win mindshare, start a fight. I guess. (In my opinion they should have simply designed Deno to be NPM compatible, but here we are.)

GraalJs, it would seem, would count.

Deno is NPM compatible
Good luck
