Deep in the C++ code mines on a Friday night, send Coke Zero

Rari is early and experimental. We're exploring React Server Components with custom RSC streaming, client component registry, Rust runtime, and HMR for server components. We've pushed one boundary that breaks React's RSC rules—should we keep innovating or align with standards?

We're launching a GoFundMe to cover legal fees to #FreeJavaScript trademark from Oracle. We need to raise $200k to make full use of the discovery phase in the trademark cancelation petition. This is a critical step in protecting the JavaScript name for the whole community. 👉 javascript.tm

What happens when you run React Server Components on a custom Rust runtime instead of Node.js? 4x faster rendering, 10k+ req/sec, sub-50ms P99 latency. Same JSX, same component patterns. Zero Rust knowledge needed. The runtime does the heavy lifting, you write the React.

We were going to do another big marketing stunt for THE TOXIC AVENGER UNRATED. Instead, Toxie, whose life was upended by crushing medical bills, has joined forces with Undue Medical Debt to erase at least $5 million in un-payable medical debt for those who need it most. Learn more:

Stumbled across some old photos of the first computer I built myself, circa 1998. I installed it in a metal tool box into which I cut some holes. The handle was very convenient for carrying the computer to LAN parties.

I hate this status update, but I need to give it: We are working to deploy an update to our location detection that we hope will solve some inaccuracies. It should roll out in the next couple hours.

Bean water, more bean water

The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm could be made 33x faster. Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo. marvinh.dev/blog/speedin...

Introducing Runtime Accelerated Rendering Infrastructure (Rari), a React Server Components framework that's 4x faster than Next.js. Built on custom Rust runtime with V8. 4x faster RSC rendering, 10,586 req/sec throughput, 5.8x faster builds.

It is nice to have a computer with some whimsy again. I've ported the esheep app from the 90s to run as a native app on macOS github.com/orta/esheep-...

Engineering is the intersection of Curiosity and Capability When your curiosity outstrips your capability, you expand your capability and grow When your capability expands, it allows you to see farther and grows your curiosity Don't allow your tools take away both your Curiosity and Capability

```ts export default defineConfig({ plugins: [rari(), rariRouter()], }) ``` That's all you need to get started with a Rari project with RSC. No complex setup. No configuration hell. Just add the plugins, start using use directives, with components assumed to be client components by default.

This project is so fascinating to me. It’s sort of a combination of Deno and other Rust-based JS tooling along with RSC transforms written in Rust for performance. I’m really excited to test it out and spelunk more into the codebase.

Would you switch from Next.js to a Vite-based React Server Components framework for 4x performance and 6x faster builds? Rust-powered runtime, plugin architecture, zero config.

In advance of ‘Never Enough,’ Turnstile debuted the songs "I Care" and "Dull" in an energetic 'Tonight Show' performance last night 👉 www.stereogum.com/2310681/watc...

Another real world Rolldown-Vite performance win: @sanity.io studio’s build time went from: 21.9s to 5.1s (4.29x, w/o React Compiler) 49.6s to 20.0s (2.48x, w/ React Compiler)

Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer,’ one of the greatest albums of all time, was first released on this day in 1997 in Japan (it came out a few weeks later in the UK and in July in the US). 💾

Yesterday, @opensourcepledge.com was on Nasdaq Tower in Times Square. I got to be there for it! Thank you to Nasdaq and congratulations to all of the featured companies who #paythemaintainers! 👏 What a great way to keep celebrating #maintainermonth! 💃

Big thanks to @milktype.co for the pop of colour and fun!

Welcome, Mr President! (Confirmed real)

This album and Coke Zero have fuelled both open source projects I'm close to releasing

Brat summer is a thing of the past -- 2025 is officially Mr. Bean summer. Changing into our swimsuits without removing our underwear. Getting our heads stuck in turkeys. Feuding with three-wheeled cars. Cutting the hair of strangers. Insulting the Queen.

After organizing three ViteConf online editions hosted by us at @stackblitz.com, this year ViteConf will be in-person! Just got back home from Amsterdam where we announced it in the Theater stage with Jos and Evan. JS World conferences are incredible, this one will be amazing! See y'all on October 🙌

@ko-fi.com when Bluesky link on profiles?

mentally preparing myself to write kotlin in the morning by reminding myself that a language with cute syntax like `fun` can't be that bad

at sxsw, @jay.bsky.team pokes fun at mark zuckerberg by mimicking a version of a t-shirt he designed for himself, which said "aut zuck aut nihil" (either zuck or nothing, like "aut caesar aut nihil"). jay's shirt? "mundus sine caesaribus" (a world without caesars). techcrunch.com/2025/03/10/a...

just tried to run `cargo knife` instead of `cargo machete` if you're wondering how my Friday's going

hey all! poster's keycaps are back! - 4-set of cherry profile keycaps - compatible with any mx-style mechanical keyboard int'l shipping should be ~$12 us, reach out if it's a lot more!
