Good news for JavaScript! The Random namespace proposal is showing great promise. It's still in the early stages, but it looks so nice 🤤

Finally, there's an official way to display a loading indicator while a link is fetching in Next.js. Two PRs have been merged to address this:

- useLinkStatus: Displays a loading indicator while loading.
- onNavigate: A callback triggered when navigation occurs on the link.

TIL that property-based testing exists, and it's great for improving test coverage.

Fast-check is an excellent library for conducting property-based tests, independent of the test runner you use.

Metro enabled support for `package.json#exports` in its latest version. This is beneficial for the ecosystem and maintainers, as I frequently received pull requests asking to add "main" in pure ESM modules.

Zodconfig seems like a great alternative to Convict. I'm considering using it in Argos.

A great game for learning about CSS anchor positioning! This feature is a game changer for tooltips, popovers, and all floating elements.

TIL about "import defer," a proposal that just made it to Stage 3. It allows loading modules without immediately executing them. Critical for application startup performance, especially on Lambdas.
// Defer limax to avoid to parse a big JS payload at runtime. import defer limax from 'limax'; export function slugify(input: string) { return limit(input); }

One tip to simplify your components is to prefer multiple compositions. Instead of including numerous "if" statements in the code, it's sometimes easier to re-compose.
