SvelteKit adds scroll position info to navigation callbacks, Vite 8 support, a match function for reverse route resolution, and Netlify adapter updates including netlify.toml redirect support. The Svelte CLI now includes better-auth as an official addon. The State of JS 2025 shows Svelte leading reactive frameworks in positive sentiment.

    Inertia.js v3 Is Now in Beta

    Inertia.js v3 is now in beta with several major changes. Axios has been removed in favor of a built-in XHR client, reducing bundle size. A new @inertiajs/vite plugin eliminates boilerplate by automatically handling page resolution, lazy-loading, and SSR setup. SSR now works during development without a separate Node.js process. New features include optimistic updates via a chainable optimistic() method, instant page visits, a useHttp hook for standalone HTTP requests, and a useLayoutProps hook for passing data between layouts and pages. Exception handling is improved with handleExceptionsUsing(). Breaking changes include requirements for PHP 8.2+, Laravel 11+, React 19+, and Svelte 5+, plus ESM-only package distribution.

    Cloudflare just slop forked Next.js…

    Cloudflare released VNext, a from-scratch reimplementation of the Next.js API built on Vite, enabling Next.js apps to be deployed anywhere without relying on Vercel's proprietary runtime. Built in roughly a week using AI assistance at a cost of ~$1,100 in tokens, it achieves 94% Next.js API coverage. Benchmarks show up to 4.4x faster production builds and 57% smaller client bundles compared to standard Next.js, largely due to Vite and the Rust-based Rolldown bundler. Vercel's leadership publicly criticized the project as a 'slop fork' and highlighted security vulnerabilities. A practical migration demo is shown using Cursor and a Cloudflare-provided agent skill, though the project is considered too early for production use.

    State of JavaScript 2025: Survey Reveals a Maturing Ecosystem with TypeScript Cementing Dominance

    The 2025 State of JavaScript survey highlights a maturing ecosystem with TypeScript now used exclusively by 40% of developers (up from 34% in 2024). Vite has effectively overtaken Webpack in developer satisfaction with a 98% satisfaction score vs Webpack's 26%. React remains the dominant framework at 83.6% usage, though Next.js faces growing criticism for complexity. AI coding tools saw notable growth, with Claude doubling to 44% and Cursor more than doubling to 26%. Node.js stays dominant at 90% on the backend, and overall developer happiness holds steady at 3.8/5 for the fifth consecutive year.

    Vue Router 5: File-Based Routing Elevates the Core with Seamless Transition

    Vue Router 5.0 has been officially released with several key improvements. The biggest addition is built-in file-based routing, previously only available via the unplugin-vue-router plugin, now integrated directly into the core. The release also brings enhanced TypeScript support, experimental declarative data loaders tied to route definitions, Volar editor tooling support, a new route JSON schema for validation, and an upgraded devtools API (v8). Existing Vue Router 4 users can migrate without breaking changes. The release also serves as a stepping stone toward Vue Router 6, which will be ESM-only and will remove deprecated APIs.

    Vite+ enters the Matrix

    VoidZero launched Void, a Vite-native deployment platform built on Cloudflare Workers, and as a result made Vite+ fully open-source under MIT license. The Vite+ alpha bundles Vite, Vitest, Oxlint, Oxfmt, Rolldown, and tsdown into a single binary (`vp`) covering the full local dev lifecycle including env management, package installation, linting, formatting, type-checking, and building. A built-in task runner with input fingerprinting for caching is also included. Other news covered: Next.js 16.2, Nuxt 4.4, @clerk/expo 3.1 with native auth components, a React-to-Svelte migration of 130k lines, a team banning useEffect, and a JavaScript quiz about Array.fill reference behavior.
