๐Ÿ‘€ VoidZero is Joining Cloudflare

One of the yearโ€™s big moves in JS tooling, as told by Evan himself. The company he founded to build Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, etc. is joining Cloudflare. Heโ€™s candid about why (monetization is hard). Good news: all projects stay MIT-licensed, and Evan and co remain in charge.
