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.

Vue has always handled things well when dealing with cross framework stuff due to their back and forth with Angular for being the go-to number 2. I’m confident that things will be well maintained for an open ecosystem. Evan is smart enough to know that tying the core technology too much to one platform will create more problems than it solves in the long term. That said, I’m excited to see if Evan can delivery anothe…

This is just my own impression but I feel that Evan might have distanced himself from Vue to focus on Vite and Void. IIRC Vapor mode was spearheaded by someone else. Same with Alien signals.

To be clear, I don't think this is bad. Vue 3 seems feature complete at this point and nobody needs another Vue 2 situation.

Had no idea Vite and OXC were made by the same company. Makes so much sense.

I don’t get the complaining about OS developers behind these incredible pieces of software like uv, bun, etc is a bad thing. If anything, it’ll continue to incentivize great developers to fill in the blanks and continue to push things forward. It’s a win for everyone.

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.

Why not setup proper no profit foundations instead of VC-funded for profits then? I think major projects that are core to the infrastructure should get financing and donations from the major tech companies benefitting. I'm not saying my solution would work, maybe I'm being naive and unaware of the realities of most of these projects.
