Terminal showing that there is a codex update available, but only having the option to skip or "update via `npm i -g`" (which is incorrect as I installed it via Vite+)

List of PRs that improve the performance of Nuxt, certain Nuxt modules and/or the ecosystem.

Lint rule can catch invalid HTML in Lit components

VS Code showing Oxc can format Vue components.

Screenshot of the compatibility docs, showing that almost all frameworks have partial or full support for both, linting at formatting.

Meme with impact font text reading "MY FACE WHEN I DON'T HAVE TO PAY FOR VITE+" over a photo of @TheAlexLichter an exaggeratedly excited/surprised face with wide eyes and open mouth, set against a purple textured background.

Oxlint CLI results (no type-aware linting):

Found 123518 warnings and 94 errors.
Finished in 65.2s on 124789 files with 88 rules using 4 threads.

A screenshot from the tsup repository showing a text above the heading: "Warning: This project is not actively maintained anymore. Please consider using tsdown instead. Read more in the migration guide".

A chart showing weekly downloads for Vite and Webpack. The chart is magnified at the right end. Last week's downloads of webpack are 31.7 million while Vite's are 32.3M. This marks the first time that Vite has more weekly downloads than webpack.

Three code tabs: The source "index.ts" that includes just "const a = 1; console.log(a)". The config of rolldown showing that "output.topLevelVar" is set to true, and eventually the transformed code that shows "var a = 1" instead of the expected "const a = 1"

Picture of VS Code with an open minimal Vite project. The Vite config only sets `experimental.enableNativePlugin` to "resolver" with a comment saying "// or true, either is necessary", and "resolve.tsconfigPaths" to true.

The tsconfig.json has `compilerOptions.paths` set to `{ "app/*": ["./src/app/*"]`. Eventually, the path resolution is used automatically (wtih autocomplete too!) in src/main.ts when using `import { App } from "app/my-app.ts`, instead of `import { App } from "./src/app/my-app.ts"`!

Screenshot of the blog post quote saying:

This is truly amazing: we are not talking about refactoring our code or spending time understanding and trying to fit new tools. We are talking about drop-in replacements that could give us a 64% reduction in a CI pipeline (referring to only build + linting).
