Vercel does a ton of specialized work under the hood, not sure how much they could expose the underlying infra.




Easy, extend the list of options

Go is in beta for years, for a company that depends so much on Rust tooling nowadays, I guess it would be about time that Rust would graduate out of a community runtime.

Also, their containers are based on Amazon Linux 2023, so they could also extend the support there.

For me, I see that as they pivoted from the early days of multiple runtimes, are nowadays focused on nodejs and they kind of still support multiple runtimes, but are not keen on improving what is already there.


Interestingly, Vercel actually supports FastHTML. Experimentally, but it worked fine when I tried it.
