I'm wondering if Vercel itself has interest in Deno, given their focus on the edge (and generally being at the forefront of JS tech). I hope they don't try and purchase it or anything, but first-party Next.js support for Deno would be awesome
if anything the alliances in the "battle for the edge" have already lined up - vercel with cloudflare workers, netlify with deno. it'd take a lot now to break those alliances
I don't really see the war analogy as useful... All of these companies want to be wherever the developers and the industry are. It's in their best interest to support (and be close to) whichever technologies prove valuable and/or popular. It doesn't have to be either/or unless there's prohibitive effort required to support both
