Some of us do. You clearly prefered to jump to comments without doing it.

You clearly were seated by my side when I decided to read that page, incredible.

Some lotto numbers for me as well?

Just be super careful to understand what CPU time means before you go ahead and waste time on this. They don't immediately flag this, but once you go past a very, very very small time threshold on used CPU time, they'll start aborting requests. This does not happen (as harshly) on fully paid accounts, of course. But since many are comfortably being dragged into the Cloudflare vortex through their otherwise generously…

I've found the memory limits to block more of my projects than cpu time. They seem to send multiple requests to a single node/process and if you're making some sort of remix app it easily breaks with any kind of load.

It is, they've just aligned them under the same umbrella. It's literally "Workers & Pages" under the CF navigation.

It is mostly just workers though. There's a teeny tiny link there that says "are you looking for pages?".

Pages still seem to work regardless. It was free and it meant that I didn’t have to host it on my own hardware anymore.

What language are you using that can't compile to WASM and isn't otherwise supported?

Java, C# for example. Yeah, they are supported depending on the semantic interpretation of what the English word supported means. As long one is happy with printf debugging, a language subset, and gimmick toolchains.

I like how it took you two replies to just say Java and C#, for example. Like, can't you just ask for what you want? Who hurt you?

I tried to port a nextjs project to cf + astro recently and it was a nightmare of usability and build issues. I'm sure they will work it out eventually but I won't be trying it again any time soon.

While Cloudflare is long-established, the Workers platform is relatively new and did have the issues you described; however, over the past few months it has become stable. Compared to Vercel, it is more technical and advanced.
