VoidZero Is Joining Cloudflare

This is what happens when developers do not pay for their tools. Companies instead take full control over it and the team then loses their independence.

Just like Bun, Astral and Astro, did VoidZero ever make any money?

If not then this is why open source alone is unsustainable, especially in the age of AI.

Weird situation for Vue. The Nuxt guys and Eduardo (creator of vue-router, pinia, etc) are working at Vercel while Evan is now at Cloudflare.

Alright, so, how long until the current Vite codebase is replaced by a vibe coded Rust port? I give it a month or two.

ok good for them. bun, astro, uv ... all acquired. Ok, what are the alternatives to vite/vitest?

Hot take (maybe), but I don't think any javascript tool that's reached a critical mass of users is really safe from acquisition at this point. Reason being is that these modern projects are often being spun up as businesses and raising capital, and eventually all businesses in this industry seek an exit, especially those focused on growth and establishing themselves in the ecosystem.

The class of open source developers that thanklessly maintained the underlying packages driving this industry are heading for the exits, and they're being replaced by people who want to build businesses from the get-go. Who's to say this is right or wrong, but I think this is where it's all headed.
