Hello JavaScript Enthusiasts!Welcome to this week’s edition of "This Week in JavaScript"!This week, we have exciting updates that will make your development workflow smoother and faster. From VoidZero’s unified JavaScript toolchain to ESLint’s new features, and even MongoDB’s performance boost, there's a lot to unpack! VoidZero Inc. Raises $4.6M to Unify JavaScript Tooling VoidZero has raised $4.6M in seed funding, led by Accel, to develop a unified, high-performance toolchain for the JavaScript ecosystem. Why is this Important? JavaScript tooling is currently fragmented, with developers relying on various third-party dependencies. VoidZero aims to streamline the development process by creating a single toolchain that handles everything from bundling to testing. Key Highlights: Unified Framework: Same AST and resolver for all tasks, reducing redundant parsing.
Performance-Focused: Built in a compile-to-native language with support for parallelization and optimized JS plugins.
Modular Components: Easily customizable building blocks for advanced use cases.
Cross-Environment Support: Works across all JavaScript environments without runtime limitations. VoidZero’s new bundler, Rolldown, will be in alpha later this year and set to integrate with Vite soon. ESLint now Lints JSON and Markdown JSON and Markdown files can now be linted directly! This is part of ESLint’s push to become a more general-purpose linter, expanding beyond JavaScript. What’s New? JSON Support: With the new @eslint/json plugin, you can lint JSON, JSONC, and JSON5 files. To get started, just install the plugin and update your ESLint config to include the JSON rules. Markdown Support: The @eslint/markdown plugin introduces linting for CommonMark and GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Just install and configure it in your project to start catching issues in your markdown files. This update opens up more possibilities for linting different file types in web projects, bringing everything under the same ESLint umbrella. Tauri 2.0 is Here Tauri 2.0’s stable release is now live, bringing key improvements and mobile support for iOS and Android. This Rust-based framework lets you build lightweight, cross-platform desktop and mobile applications simply by using HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It does all this and makes the file size smaller and makes performance faster. With Tauri 2.0, you get: Unified Codebase: One UI codebase for desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android).
Hot-Module Replacement (HMR): Seamlessly update your app's frontend without rebuilding.
Mobile Support: Use Swift or Kotlin to build mobile-specific functionalities while sharing Rust logic.
Advanced Plugins: Extend your app's capabilities with a more refined plugin system, simplifying development. Tauri continues to evolve, offering developers a highly efficient and flexible way to build for all platforms. New Tools and Releases Tabulator 6.3: Simplify managing complex data tables in web apps with powerful editing, filtering, and sorting features.
MongoDB 8.0: Enjoy a 30% performance boost and enhanced security with Queryable Encryption and better scaling.
Eleventy 3.0: The latest release of this static site generator makes creating fast, efficient websites easier than ever.
µExpress: Speed up your Node.js apps with this optimized version of Express, offering up to 4x faster requests. That’s a wrap for this week! If you found these JavaScript updates useful, give this post an upvote to help others discover it. Don’t forget to share it with your fellow developers and keep an eye out for more insights in the JavaScript world. Until next time, keep coding and stay curious!
