Top-level-var support Did you know that @rolldown_rs supports converting your top-level variables to `var`? It seems weird at first, but is actually helpful - and your output is still ESM and modern code! The transform *can* improve performance due to avoiding "temporal dead…

T-6 until we get type-aware linting in Oxlint 👀
Aim to release type-aware linting on the 28th to celebrate this two years old issue :-)
oxc formatter now at 60% compatibility with prettier for JS while being 3x faster than Biome
The @vuejs version of Formisch will drop this week! Shoutout to @TheAlexLichter for supervising my code! This is what the API will probably look like:
I am excited to share my new open-source project with you! Formisch is a schema-based, headless form library for JavaScript frameworks. 🧱 It manages form state and validation. It is type-safe, fast by default and its bundle size is small due to its modular design. 🧩 v0 is now…
The Oxc team just cracked two things: - JS custom rules, with ESLint compatible API. We invested heavily into the underlying implementation to make it fast without the typical data-passing drawback of JS-in-native plugins. More details soon! - Type-aware rules. Full coverage…
oxlint + tsgolint = no slow down! no-floating-promises completes 4.4k files in 3.2 seconds, in the vscode repo. typescript-go is the future, all credits to the ts-go team! We just glued everything together 😀 github.com/microsoft/type…
⚡ Speaker highlight: Evan You ViteConf wouldn’t be the same without @youyuxi creator of @vuejs & @vite_js. His talks always drop major news (hello @rolldown_rs & @VoidZeroDev!). This year, he'll reveal how Vite is evolving beyond a build tool - into a full Rust-based toolchain,…
TIL this one weird trick from @sapphi_red - PIFE for faster V8 parsing: github.com/oxc-project/ox… ...which improves the startup time of the rolldown-vite bundle by 2x: github.com/rolldown/rolld… Hire people smarter than you to work on the problem you want to solve!
✨ Node.js: Now with Rolldown? Yes - to some degree! @rolldown_rs is planned to power the future API documentation generator of @nodejs. More info in the linked PR! github.com/nodejs/api-doc…
