Most developers don’t think about extension marketplaces, but they’ve become one of the most strategic control points in modern developer tooling.
As AI-driven platforms evolve, the registry behind extensions is no longer secondary, it’s infrastructure.
In this article, @tfroment explores why Open VSX matters not just for scale and security, but for software sovereignty in an increasingly AI-driven ecosystem.
