This is Akshay, the original creator of marimo. Our whole team has come over to CoreWeave. We're building a whole lot more, not less, and our number one priority continues to be the open-source. We're also growing the open-source team, i.e. we're hiring.

sure sure, but I've been at an acquisition and we have seen countless more in the wild, the founders lose control over time and the parent company will do what they like, acquisition is a big red flag for me when considering adoption of a project

you can say whatever you want, but we have history to help guide us, and it has not been kind to the acquisitioned company's current user base

you're still in the honeymoon phase, check back with us in a year or two

From the looks of it, CoreWeave is a crypto company now turned AI company, currently offering infrastructure/cloud services. Definitely no focus on data or developer tools. (Also see the recent "CoreWeave is a time bomb" recent articles here, https://hn.algolia.com/?q=CoreWeave).

It's sad Marimo got sucked up into this, I fully expect it will not receive the love and support it deserves, especially now that it was shaping up to be an amazing tool. I can only hope it will fail quickly and painfully, so as to spawn an open source fork that will outlast the AI bubble.

Would love to be wrong.

Ooof, more bad signs

I'd argue the founders made the choice more than they company got sucked up
