A tooling-first conference calls for a tooling-first talk! At SquiggleConf 2025 in Boston I took the audience through Rolldown - why it exists, how it plugs into Vite today, and what "bundling at the speed of Rust" actually means in practice.
We looked at how Rolldown compares to Rollup and esbuild, the integration story with Vite and Rolldown-Vite, and the impact this is starting to have on framework authors and application developers alike.

My first time at Vue.js Paris! The meetup was kindly hosted by Algolia and the theme of the evening was server components and blazingly fast toolchains.
