Bingo: repository template framework

www.create.bingo @JoshuaKGoldberg@fosstodon.org

A tool in the tradition of Plop and Yeoman: “Bingo is a new repository template framework. It allows you to build delightful templates for web repositories with built-in support for friendly CLIs, type-safe options, and fully testable templates.”

Rspack partners with Vercel on shared foundations

Comment by Rspack’s project lead: “Many people might see Rspack and Turbopack as competitors and feel puzzled about our recent collaboration. In reality, the areas where our projects align and benefit from cooperation far outweigh the competition. Since we started working together, the Turbopack team has helped us significantly improve Rspack’s infrastructure. Special thanks to Benjamin Woodruff for offering many valuable optimization suggestions. We’ve also worked closely with Donny (강동윤) to deeply optimize SWC, which has led to performance gains for both Rspack and Turbopack. Ultimately, it’s the users of both tools who benefit the most. There’s no need to ‘win’ through attack and shitpost to each other—everyone gains more through collaboration.”
