We believed this centralized approach was necessary for features like safe code migration and unified deployment, and that offering self-hosting would undermine our sustainability model. We've learned how to deliver Darklang's key benefits - invisible infrastructure, deployless deployment, trace-driven development - without requiring our specific editor or hosting environment. GitHub handles this by attaching LICENSE.md files, but in a world where a package manager syncs types and functions directly, there are some neat challenges to think through.
