1) This is not what I said, no 2) With AI, languages and syntax matters even less nowadays. 3) There have been a good amount of contributors (e.g. for Oxc) that came out the JS world, so it isn't impossible 4) Realistically, the avg. web dev does not contribute to tooling internals, maximum custom rules or similar. The concepts are a bigger "hurdle" than the lang.

That still leaves you admitting that only a small fraction of the served community can really contribute. You'll need to keep all the best benefits of your work for the Plus users or else there would be no reason to buy Plus and no way to keep paying the few to do all the work for the many. You're stuck telling people what they can't have (and shouldn't want) while I'm now in a position to just give people what they want. I admire the people who work there, but you need a new business model and fast because I am unequivocally going to collapse your current one.

Didn't see any software of yours yet, only big talk so far sadly! Besides that, VoidZero will also be in a position to just give people what they want

    VoidZero is betting I'm just talk, ok, that's fair. But the way you say it makes me think that your evaluation of me is mostly on hearsay, because if you had actually tried to find out how serious I am I suspect you'd be less flippant. You're welcome in the Discord!
