Whaaaat. I thought this was a successful business??

Sorry to hear this. Hopefully will be open sourced?

Not mentioned directly in the blog post, but Val Town was fundamentally organized around the Deno runtime, whose team will stop maintaining it next year after joining Cloudflare [0].

I’ll say the same thing I did with Deno’s death: it’s a shame.

Feels like there’s an era of devtools companies coming to a close. Astro, Astral, Deno, Bun, Turso, Void Zero all got acquired. I’m guessing there’s either very compelling acquisition offers being floated or the fundraising/revenue environment isn’t as friendly?

Aw, I liked Val Town. Any self-hosted alternatives people like?
