Don't sleep on Servo! It has great potential
Servo is a massive achievement. One of the more unknown but potentially very impactful things about the project is that its modular nature allows parts of the web rendering stack to be embedded elsewhere (in game engines and such).

Mozilla making mistakes after mistakes. The employee doesn't even acknowledge the mistakes of the bot and the concerns of a **20 years veteran in the field**.
Mozilla deployed an AI bot that overwrote 20 years of volunteer Japanese translations, without consultation. JP community leader resigned, and the offer from Mozilla is to "hop on a quick call to understand why they're struggling". FFS.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

We have reworked the @biomejs.dev architecture as generic as possible, so now these frameworks are supported. The new architecture will unlock:
- Angular
- Embedded formatting in JS files e.g. CSS-in-JS
- Cross boundaries lint rules
It will take a bit, but the basic bricks are there. Enjoy!

Hot take: Next.js has become overly complex, even for an enterprise. It lost its identity. Look for simpler alternatives (enterprise friendly)

We're reaching full support (experimental) for Vue, Svelte and Astro in @biomejs.dev! I just finished implementing the application of code fixes inside embedded languages :)
If everything goes well (it depends on what the team decides), it will be shipped in the next minor.
