Astro v5.2 is our first release of 2025! 🌬️ astro add tailwind for Tailwind v4 🔀 External redirects support 🧰 TOML frontmatter in Markdown ⚙️ And a new module 👀 Let’s dive in! astro.build/blog/astro-520/

In October, we launched @boltdotnew with just a tweet. We had no idea what destiny had in store, but it was nuts: • $0-20m ARR in 2 months • 2m+ registered users • #1 web AI code app globally Today, we're announcing we've raised $105.5m: 🧵

Vite 6.0.9 / 5.4.12 / 4.5.6 has been released with *breaking changes* due to security issues. I recommend upgrading it. Some users may need to update the config options. Please check github.com/vitejs/vite/secur… if you encountered any errors.

I’m judging at the @nushackers Hack & Roll hackathon in Singapore today! There is a special “best hack using @vite_js” prize category ;) Come find me if you want to talk about open source, or the future of dev tooling for JavaScript and web dev. I’m wearing a black void(0) cap.

Vitest 3.0 is here! vitest.dev/blog/vitest-3

I just added a @honojs example and guide for @supabase Auth 🔥 It uses Hono with @vite_js & @reactjs to demo Supabase Auth working across client and server using cookies 🍪😋 Shoutout to @MathurAditya7 for the Hono/JSX + Vite example I built upon 🫶 Code below 👇

This was built entirely with @sveltejs (SvelteKit) and @vite_js, and I’ve got to say... I’m in love! The dev experience is lightning-fast, the performance is outstanding, and the community rocks. If you haven’t tried #Svelte or #Vite yet, you should.

And for Vite integration: we are now passing all relevant tests in github.com/rolldown/vite, the temporary fork of Vite that runs on Rolldown instead of esbuild / Rollup. Expect a proper release early 2025!

🎁 A surprise holidays gift: after over a year of hard work, we have just published Rolldown 1.0.0-beta.1!

Delighted to announce that we've released Nuxt v3.15! ⚡️ powered by Vite 6 🪵 Chromium devtools improvements 🗺️ navigation mode for `callOnce` 🥵 HMR for templates, pages + page metadata 📋 page meta enhancements 🔥 performance improvements nuxt.com/blog/v3-15

Internally achieved: Server function RPCs with *just @vite_js *. 🤯

Astro 5.1 is now in session. Introducing Astro.session, an experimental utility to share data between requests. This is for you PHP lovers.

There's literally no tech I'm more bullish on than Vitest. Even TypeScript. If you're using some other test runner, you're making your job harder for no reason.

The reason why I am very excited about this is because this means every framework building on top of Vite will have blazing fast DX in browser environments - on StackBlitz, via Bolt.new, etc.!

Rolldown's wasm build just got significantly faster in browsers thanks to @Brooooook_lyn! One challenge of native bundlers is that they have to ship and run as wasm in browser environments. Some bundlers like rspack doesn't even support this due to the complexity it involves. Moreover - the biggest perf advantage of native bundlers comes from parallelization, but in browsers we'd have to simulate threads using web workers. Without proper optimization, native bundlers can end up being slower than JS bundlers in browsers! For example, I was surprised to find out that esbuild's wasm build is actually significantly slower than Rollup in web containers. This may have to do with Go wasm compilation and de-optimized parallelization. Rolldown suffered from this too, and we've been wanting to tackle this since the very beginning because we know we want it to run fast in every use case. Yesterday at the team offsite in Shanghai, our friend @Brooooook_lyn finally solved this by implementing proper worker thread pooling / reuse in napi-rs. As a result, Rolldown is now the fastest possible bundler you can run in the browser. Here are the numbers when bundling a benchmark app with 2.5k modules: - esbuild: 22.19s - Vite (via Rollup): 4.52s - Rolldown: ⚡️613.43 ms Try it out yourself on StackBlitz: stackblitz.com/~/github.com/…

beta => stable

Vite ecosystem does it again! - Adoption growth: Vite (#1), Vitest (#2) - Highest retention: Vitest (#1), Vite (#2), #3 Astro is also Vite-based - Highest interest: Rolldown (#1), Vitest (#2), Vite (#3) - Most Write-Ins: #1 Analog is Vite-based In addition: Vite is the most loved library overall (56% of all surveyed devs have positive opinion of it regardless of whether they used it or not)

State of JS 2024 is out and... what a year for the projects I work on! - @vite_js / @voidzerodev ecosystem projects sweep almost all the awards (again) - @vuejs had a strong comeback year! more details in thead👇

It's no surprise for most of the winners of these awards, but I was surprised about one in the 2024 State of JS survey. @analogjs for @Angular 🎉 @vite_js 🤝 @nitrojsdev 2024.stateofjs.com/en-US/awa…

Staying in SG 🇸🇬 this Christmas? Celebrate with @evanyou & @bobzhang1988 at @ahrefs 's office! 🎄✨ 🗓️ Dec 22nd, 2-6 PM Let’s talk @moonbitlang , @voidzerodev , @vite_js , and most importantly, enjoy a cheerful Sunday afternoon together! 🎉 #SGEvents #ChristmasMeetup
