"nobody uses Rust" Oh, really? A lot of the JS ecosystem is being rewritten in Rust and making everything faster. The pattern: 1. JavaScript tool exists (works, but slow) 2. Rust equivalent emerges (same behavior, 10-100x faster) 3. Projects migrate, get immediate gains Examples: • Babel → SWC • Webpack → RSPack • ESLint + Prettier → Biome • Terser → SWC minify @meteorjs embraced this: 3.3: SWC replaced Babel (~60% faster) 3.4: RSPack added (another 75% faster) The toolchain evolution: 2015: Babel + custom bundler 2025: SWC + RSPack + Meteor bundler Each layer got faster. What's notable: This happened WITHOUTH breaking changes. Invisible improvements that make developers' lives better.

Meteor 3.4 is the result of months of work and community testing. Thanks to everyone who tested the betas and RCs. Now it's time to ship faster apps together.

Quick math on Meteor 3.4: Old build: 60s → New build: 15s Saved per build: 45 seconds Builds per day: 50 Time saved daily: 37 minutes Time saved yearly: 160+ hours That's a month of your life back.

Migrating to Meteor 3.4: 1. `meteor update --release 3.4` 2. Add "modern": true to package.json 3. `meteor add rspack` That's it for most apps. No rewrite. No weekend debugging.

But I should still make it for our @meteorjs Dispatches podcast tomorrow! The crew is back together @alimgafar and @Kuester_Jan for one last time! youtube.com/watch?v=T4CYGeEM…

@meteorjs is on fire 🔥 we have more than 50 PRs waiting to be landed in the next releases, excited for the 3.4.1 and 3.4.2

Spot Meteor apps in the wild!

@meteorjs 3.4 finally speaks the same language as the rest of the JS ecosystem. Full ESM support. React Router v7. React. Vue. Solid. Svelte. Angular. Modern tools, Meteor simplicity. youtube.com/watch?v=qq_Fx2Y-…

You're welcome, Derek ❤️ This wouldn't be possible without a lot of hard work from the Core Team + community.

Things that didn't work before 3.4: ❌ React Router v7 ❌ ESM-only packages ❌ Standard Webpack plugins ❌ Tree shaking Things that work now: ✓ All of the above Limitations deleted.

For years, the #1 Meteor complaint: "bundles are too big." Fair criticism. No tree shaking meant dead code shipped to users. Meteor 3.4 fixes it. Our test app (simpletasks): 50% smaller bundles. Tree shaking is finally here.

What 90% faster hot reloads feel like: Save file → see changes. No spinner. No waiting. No coffee break. Meteor 3.4 + RSPack = instant feedback loops.

Meteor 3.4 is here. 🚀 • 75% faster builds (4x improvement) • 50% smaller bundles (tree shaking!) • 90% faster hot reloads • Full ESM support • React Router v7 works now The biggest performance release in Meteor history. See what's new: go.galaxycloud.app/8vc
