A quick overview of the new TanStack Start, a meta framework based on React, with server actions, suspense, router, and more. Currently in alpha, but i already feel this will be my next preferred toolkit for 2025.
Get a preview of Astro new features in its future V5 version. Content layers, server island, typed env vars.. Its all there.
With this new feature, the Astro team breaks again the frontier between CSR and SSR. Server Island allows you to dynamically fetch portions of you page directly on the server. Discover this breakthrough with a comparison of the Edge feature from Vercel.
Great explanation on the new react 19 pattern "render on fetch" vs the actual "fetch on render".
After 15 years, Node officially announce it will natively supports typescript. It was time..
A quick overview on the new 5.6 typescript release and it looks pretty promising.
Astro evolves pretty fast, and in this new release, we have performances improving at build, a new env module to manage your variables with a zod schema, and container api who allows to export components into strings.

Figma presented his version 3 with lots of new functionalities. Get a resume of updates, including AI prototyping and search, a new tool to make slides from your design system, a new redesign and tons of smaller updates.
I hope you are not expecting react 19 to be released pretty soon. Although it is in release candidate state, some malfunctions are still discovered when tested by library developers. Here is a resume of how a small update about suspenses triggers data being fetched in waterfall instead of being parallelized.
Angular 18 just got released and it was eagerly awaited. The angular team announced few months ago that this version should be a renew of the framework and we can indeed see that lots of new features were added, like signals. Good for us, there is no breaking change, so adoption could go smoothly.
Next releases a release candidate for the 15th version of the meta framework. This version is based on react 19 RC and includes react compiler, hydration error improvements, partial pre rendering and caching updates (fetch requests, route handlers, client router don't cache by default now).
Solid start, the a meta framework based on Solid, just reach the stable version. It just ships 5Kb of javascript by default, and allow users to create both CSG, SSR and CSR according to their needs. It is also isomorphic, so the same code can run wether on client or server.
New version of astro with manual routing strategy for internationalization, experimental support for CSRF protection in SSR and cookies improvements.
Its no secret that i love Astro, but implementing reactivity with CSR elements can sometimes be a little overkill. Using HTMX solves this problem by adding some reactivity in our pages without the need of an ui framework.
1700 commits, thousands of bugs fixed, and tons of new features and API since the 1.0 version, but the major element of this release is the windows compatibility. But also, Bun 1.1 is up to 2x faster on large projects, now integrates a shell, has a new Glob api, and support vite syntax for process.env.
New rules, dropping support of old Node version, but mostly the v9 introduces a new flat configuration file. Make sure that all your plugins support the new version before tempting an upgrade.
The new version is finally released, and this one will become a LTS version. New compatibility with ESM, so now we'll be able to import and export our modules and start a migration from CJS to ESM. (Finally we can stop compiling in both ESM and CJS in our monorepos). Also a new version of the V8 engine and improvements for the websocket client.
A first beta for the next react version, but aimed at library developers for them to study and adopt the new features. It includes RSC, servers actions, new refs, context, document metadata, async scripts, prefetching, better error reporting.. The list of new features and upgrades is is pretty impressive.
Angular just announced at the NG conference that the framework is merging with Wiz (Google's internal framework). Many efforts are also focused on AI (chatbot in the documentation, CLI capable of generating complete components..).
Writing JavaScript without using JavaScript? A new tool for haters that allows you to compile this new language into JS. The syntax looks quite appealing and the documentation is super well done.
Performance improvements (up to 10 times faster) by rewriting part of the framework in Rust, over 35% reduction in package size by dropping PostCSS for a custom parser reducing parsing time by half.
Is Bun already obsolete before we even had time to test it? Release of a new JavaScript runtime even faster than Bun focused on interoperability.
Conform is a new form management library with Progressive enhancement first APIs, Type-safe field inference, Fine-grained subscription, Built-in accessibility helpers, and Automatic type coercion with Zod.
