The Pod: Solana DX in 2026: Everything You Ever Wanted
summary
QuickNode takes over the Solana program-examples repo and ports under 50 projects to the latest Anchor, adds the newer VM tests, remaps to the multi-file layout, deletes Mocha/web3.js tests and replaces many SDKs with native Solana Kit code so there is no web3.js dependency; CI time drops from minutes to 20 seconds per change, light SVM runs 100x faster than Mocha, GitHub-trained LLMs still output bad Anchor code, and a two‑month push for concrete financial examples and a leasing tutorial is scheduled.
