Good things are still happening in the web dev world...

Void Zero raised $12.5 million in Series A funding to build a unified, high-performance JavaScript toolchain. The company, founded by Vue.js and Vite creator Evan You, has achieved significant milestones: Vite surpassed Webpack in weekly downloads, Vitest's browser mode became stable, Rolldown reached 1 million weekly downloads, and the Rust-based Oxc compiler aims to eliminate performance bottlenecks in JavaScript tooling. This investment signals growing recognition that developer experience and tooling infrastructure deserve serious funding and attention.
