VoidZero Inc.: founded by Evan You (Vue, Vite) to build a unified open source toolchain for JavaScript

voidzero.dev github.com/yyx990803

Creators and maintainers of the following projects have joined VoidZero:

  • Vite: “the build tool for the web”
  • Vitest: “next-generation text runner”
  • Rolldown: “the fastest JavaScript bundler”
  • Oxc: “the fastest JavaScript language toolchain”

This paragraph of the announcement hints at how they plan to make money: “Everything we’ve open-sourced will remain open source. On top of our open-source projects, we will offer an end-to-end JavaScript tooling solution specifically designed to meet the scale and security requirements of enterprise environments.”

ESLint v9.12.0: experimental new configuration file resolution algorithm

eslint.org @nzakas@fosstodon.org @eslint@fosstodon.org

ESLint v9.0.0 introduced a new config system that starts searching for a config file in the current working directory (not in the directory of the linted file). That prevents a monorepo from running ESLint in the top-level directory with subrepo-specific config files. A new configuration file resolution algorithm fixes this shortcoming.

Outdated docs are tech debt

“Teams often neglect to create good documentation. Code gets delivered, but updating the docs is treated as a secondary task, easily postponed—until it’s too late.”
