What's Happening in the JavaScript Ecosystem?
summary
Front-end claims: Qwik ships HTML and CSS and 1 kilobyte of JavaScript via resumability using on:click-style optimizations instead of full hydration; Next.js and Astro push server/client components and incremental or component-level hydration; microfrontends use Module Federation with Vite/webpack and tools like Respark and Links for on‑demand mobile bundles; backend tradeoffs compare Node Deno and Bun by security, LTS and raw speed; surprising AI detail is 10 million window context for Llama 4 enabling whole-repo prompts.
