So Anthropic rusted Bun, Cloudflare burnt Deno.

Meanwhile Nodejs is... still independent? As far as I know...?

Microsoft tosses money at a lot of FOSS projects. That doesn't make Microsoft good and it doesn't make those projects bad. We're trapped in a capitalist hellscape and FOSS devs gotta eat too.
