I had the honor to join the AmsterdamJS meetup as speaker, this time talking about the newly released Vite+ Alpha and whether this new open-source CLI finally delivers on the promise of a unified toolchain for the JavaScript ecosystem.
A Vue/Nuxt person on stage at React Advanced - but the story is bigger than any single framework.
Back at c't webdev in Cologne, and this time the topic was less "new framework" and more "new foundations".
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.
The Angular Plus Show invited me over to talk about - yes - Vite. A bit of a crossover episode, given my Vue/Nuxt background, but it turns out the future of Vite, Rolldown and Oxc is very much a cross-framework story.
Together with Sarah Rainsberger, I had the honor of moderating the panel at ViteConf 2025, joined by Tanner Linsley, Matt Biilmann, Jessica Janiuk, Ryan Carniato, and Evan You, looking past Vite itself and at where the web platform is heading.
ViteConf 2025 was special - the first time the Vite community gathered in person, right here in Amsterdam. Fitting place for a talk about how Vite is about to get a whole lot faster.
Closing out Day 1 of ViteConf 2025 with the Vite Panel Discussion: A live Q&A with Vite Core Members on the Vite ecosystem, the future of the project, and the burning questions from the audience.
The ViteConf 2025 pre-event at the Funda office in Amsterdam - the community night before the main conference kicked off.
JetBrains invited me to their annual JavaScript Day to talk about - what else - modern JavaScript tooling.
Back at PragVue, but this time as the opening keynote and with a very different topic than last year's composable best practices.
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.
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.
Back on PodRocket! This time we talked about Rolldown - the Rust-based bundler built by VoidZero that aims to replace Rollup and esbuild with faster builds and better scalability for large apps.
[GERMAN] Zum dritten Mal bei MYPOSTERs Tech 'n' Drinks in München! Diesmal haben wir vom Framework einen Schritt zurück gemacht und uns die Toolchain darunter genauer angeschaut.
What do modern frontend frameworks have in common? Increasingly, the answer is: the same tooling underneath.
Tejas Kumar invited me onto ConTejas Code to zoom out on the current state of JavaScript tooling. We talked about why I joined VoidZero, what the company is actually building, how Vite, Rolldown and Oxc fit together, and where a unified toolchain for the JavaScript ecosystem could take us.
