1 year agoUh Ruff is developed by a VC-funded startup. That usually ends up in misaligned incentives between what’s good for VC and what’s good for the community.
I guess that already happened to Rome, when the company behind Rome dissolved, the domain name was shut down and the project was abandoned. Thankfully some people forked it under a new name: https://biomejs.dev/blog/annoucing-biome/
The guy who created Rome was hired to work on Ruff apparently, after his company dissolved. I guess it’s tough out there trying to make profit in the unified linter space.
