🎉 Excited to announce that I'm joining VoidZero as DevRel!

As I was following the project from early on, I couldn't say no to the chance when @evanyou.me reached out.

I can't wait to share all the incredible things lined up for @rolldown.rs, OXC, @vite.dev, and @vitest.dev 👀

Oh hell yeah. James got into it thanks to @mdong1909.bsky.social!

Time for some focus work! Schiphol is a nice place for it 😁

One key part of Rust-based tooling for JS is that it should be extensible with JS.

Think of Rolldown and Rollup/Rolldown JS plugins, same for Oxlint now.

This should be able to „bridge the gap“ and allow a lot of contribs to the ecosystem even if you don’t know rust

Vitest vscode extension now displays your console.logs inline. An example of logging in browser mode:

Of course! This closes the gap towards full stack

No, Vite 8 will come with Rolldown, and all the MIT-licensed proejcts will stay MIT.

This chart is comparing Vite+ to the "current Vite" setup.
I understand the confusion though

One can still wish for @angular.dev to fully embrace @vite.dev though (but I know it is tricky!)

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

That’s one of the licenses we are looking into.

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

None that are under MIT right now!

Everything new we release under vite-plus will be, but that doesn’t change that Vite, Rolldown etc will get updates and development (as Vite plus is using them)

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

The website should be pretty clear on that but lmk if there is something off!

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

Vite+, a superset of Vite which includes all the commands you’ve seen in one dependency.

We will have an announcement post on Monday with more details

Highly disagree. @vite.dev is in no way a 2nd grad product (but feel free to prove me wrong)!

The fun part of Vite plus is that it is *not* pushing commercial interests.

Free for the community, paid for working startups and big companies, as the website states

Vite won’t be crippled and there is no enshittification 🥲

All projects will stay open source, and as they are the foundation of Vite plus, they won’t be neglected or severed.

Heck yeah! The @nitro.build v3 beta is out now. And Nitro is now just a @vite.dev plugin 👀

Kudos to all contributors, @unjs.io, and @pi0.io 🙌🏻

Even for type checking? Is that on tsgo or tsgolint?

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

Do you have type-aware linting rules enable for both?

Alexander Lichter @thealexlichter.com · 3d

Perfect name, right? 🤣
