The campaign promises of import maps, the meaning of ~~life~~ _React Fiber_, and the resurrection of Flash.

Oxfmt, the formatter from the Oxc toolchain, has released its first beta and positions itself as a strong Prettier replacement. It is 30x faster than Prettier and 3x faster than Biome, passes 100% of Prettier's JS/TS conformance tests, supports a wide range of file types (JS, TS, JSON, YAML, CSS, Markdown, and more), and includes built-in Tailwind class sorting and import sorting. Migration is a single command. The newsletter also covers shadcn/cli v4, a React Fiber deep dive, Firefox 148's new Sanitizer API, TanStack Intent for agent skills, and other frontend news.

Another Prettier killer has entered the villa

Every new thing is killing every existing thing…yet PHP, Java, Spring Boot and many other older tools are still alive and running. We all need to chill a lil bit.

I guess engineers don’t know what else to develop.

That’s not new and anyway Biome has been around for longer. please try it!

pffft just when I wanted to try Biome. I’ll wait another year to see which one will actually be the best option

Yes that was awesome “The children clearly yearn for the Rust” 🤣 good one.
Didn’t know if we way faster than Biome. Guess I AM off to switch again.
