> Before saying anything else, we want to make the most important thing clear: Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ will stay open source, vendor-agnostic, and community-driven. Nothing about that changes. Given how every single acquisition like this has gone, especially lately, I look forward to seeing how quickly these products get left behind and unmaintained as their entire team move onto things at CF.
Do we have any chance left of using software for our work without Big Tech behind it?
I love how they always make it sound like this is by choice. "VoidZero is joining Cloudflare" As if they chose to do that. Yes, they agreed to it, but in the end it was just a huge financial transaction. But i guess "Cloudflare buys VoidZero" just sounds less friendly. Even though that is exactly what happened.

Just to steelman the GP; some people in the company made a choice while the rest had no say. I personally think the owners should get to decide, but it's an interesting duality. (assuming it's not like everyone has a share or something, in which case they would've all had to agree I guess)
It's always scary to see an open source organization being acquired
Real life isn't 60's hippies community farms.
