The End of Frontend Fragmentation? How Rust is Unifying Frameworks & Tooling

Starting a new frontend project today means a long series of choices: which framework, which testing tool, which linter, which formatter, which runtime? And each of those choices usually means another tool with its own configuration, another dependency and another thing that can break.

At JSNation US 2025, I argued that this fragmentation is finally starting to dissolve - and that Rust-powered tooling (Vite with Rolldown, Oxc, Oxlint, and what's coming with Vite+) is a big part of why. We looked at what a more unified toolchain can look like and why it's good news for every frontend team, regardless of framework.
