VoidZero is joining Cloudflare. Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.

Name one team acquired by a large corporation that has gone on to do greater things. Just one. Obviously things like GitHub and NPM are the counter-examples.

@svelte.dev and @nuxt.com are doing pretty well!

I've not used Svelte at all and dabbled in Nuxt years ago, but no more than that. So my knowledge of the two and exposure to their communities is limited.

However, brief research confirms that all is ok. There are concerns about multiple projects or core devs being related to or employed by Vercel (Next/React, Svelte, Nuxt), but no evidence that anything bad has happened.

I guess the only real concern I'd have is that Vercel develops into a semi-monopoly in terms of JS deployment platform... But, again, no evidence to support that.

Though, Vercel engaging Svelte and Nuxt is relatively recent. Services sliding downwards, like LinkedIn and GitHub/NPM, were acquired around a decade ago. Though that feels like grasping at straws. More likely it is related to the org that acquired LinkedIn and GitHub.
