The Main Thing
One nation, under Vite
The final boss of build tools
Last October, we wrote about Vite’s ambitious goal of becoming “the shared foundation for higher-level innovations in the web ecosystem.” And after just 10 months, it feels like we can pretty much say… mission accomplished?
We’ve seen Remix migrate to Vite, Angular use it for their dev server, and dozens of other frameworks and libraries build on top of it. This has caused Vite’s npm downloads to double yet again to 14 million per week.
In fact, Next.js is currently the only JavaScript meta-framework that doesn’t use Vite in some way (for their own turbo-tastic reasons), but the rest of the JS ecosystem has united under the lightning bolt banner.
So what’s next for Vite? According to Evan You’s recent keynote, the team plans to expand on their original goal by forming “a completely unified toolchain that can handle your JavaScript and TypeScript source – all the way from source file to AST, to linting, formatting, unit testing, transforming, bundling, minification, all the way to production, at native speed.”
Here’s what they’re currently building to make that happen:
-
Environment API – Currently experimental in Vite 6 alpha, this lower-level construct will provide better support for frameworks that run in multiple environments like the browser, Node.js, and workers.
-
Rolldown – This Rust-based bundler is still a WIP and aims to provide full compatibility with Rollup (Vite’s current bundler), plus new features like more advanced chunk splitting and module federation.
-
OXC – This JavaScript compiler is also written in Rust and provides super fast parsing, linting, and resolving, with more functionality planned for the future.
Bottom Line: Multiple OSS projects and VC-backed startups have tried and failed to build a unified, Rust-based toolchain like this. But now that Vite has conquered all of its other goals, it makes sense for the team to try and tackle the final boss of build tools. I wouldn’t bet against them.

Mfw I think about setting up a Postgres DB from scratch
Ship faster with Postgres on Neon
Postgres is the world’s most popular open-source database for a reason – but it’s also easy to get stuck wasting weeks on complex configs and maintenance.
That’s where Neon can help. They offer fully managed Postgres with features designed to help you ship faster:
-
Your DB automatically adapts to your app’s workload, eliminating the need for over-provisioning or manual resource allocation.
-
Instantly create ready-to-use Development/Preview/Test databases (with both schema and data) that shut down when unused.
-
You can restore your database in seconds to any point in the past 30 days, 24 hours, or even 1 minute ago.
Get started with their generous free tier, and provision your Postgres database in under a second. Seriously, it’s that fast.

Stack Overflow just released their 2024 Developer Survey.

Sounds about right.

构建工具的最终老板
去年10月,我们写了关于Vite的雄心勃勃的目标,即成为“网络生态系统中高层次创新的共享基础”。
我们已经看到Remix快速迁移, Angular 使用它为Dev 服务器,以及数十个其他框架和库建立在其上,这导致Vite的npm下载量再次增加一倍,每周达到1400万。
事实上,Next.js 是目前唯一的 JavaScript 元框架。不会以某种方式使用Vite(出于自身的涡轮战术原因),但JS生态系统的其余部分已经在闪电的旗帜下团结起来。
**那么,即时的下一步是什么呢?**根据Evan You最近的关键词,该团队计划通过形成“一个完全统一的工具链,可以处理您的JavaScript和TypeScript源 - 从源文件到AST,到链接,格式化,单元测试,转换,包装,缩小,到生产,在原生速度。
以下是他们目前正在建设的,以使这一点发生:
-
环境火灾目前在Vite 6 alpha中进行实验,这个较低级别的构建将为在多个环境中运行的框架提供更好的支持,如浏览器,Node.js和工人。
-
滚落这个基于Rust的包裹仍然是一个WIP,旨在提供与Rollup(Vite的当前包裹)的完全兼容性,以及更先进的分裂和模块联盟等新功能。
-
氧化这个JavaScript编译器也用Rust编写,提供超快的解析、链接和解决,未来计划提供更多的功能。
**底线:**多个OSS项目和VC支持的初创公司已经尝试并未成功地构建这样一个统一的基于Rust的工具链,但现在Vite已经征服了其它所有目标,团队有意义地尝试解决构建工具的最终老板。
