💡 Use "using" for Vitest/Jest mocks/spys

It's really nice to simplify

You don't need manual mockReset / global afterEach

[TypeScript @typescript]

TypeScript 6.0 is now available!

This release brings better type-checking for methods, new standard library features, new module features for Node.js, and more!

But most important, this release brings us one step closer to the upcoming native-speed 7.0!

Vite just announced the Laravel/Rails for JavaScript

DB, auth, KV, queues, storage, ai ++

React/Vue/Svelte/Solid and Integrates with existing metaframeworks as it's just a Vite plugin

The more interesting part is they are launching their own framework with it which feels a lot like tanstack start.

Has routing/loaders/actions/islands/ISR and is inspired by Inertia.js

By default it's tightly bound to Cloudflare workers — which is where all the bindings come from — and will include deploying without a cloudflare account

Uses better auth and drizzle under the hood

[Evan You @evanyou]

It's done. Now it’s your turn, @Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

Wow. GitHub CEO @ashtom just announced GitHub Copilot X:

- Copilot Chat - "ChatGPT-like experience in your editor" powered by GPT-4
- Copilot for Pull Requests - AI-generated descriptions for pull requests on GitHub
- GitHub Copilot for Docs - chat for *any* company's repos and docs, starting with React/Azure/MDN
- GitHub Copilot CLI - compose commands and loops, and throw around obscure find flags to satisfy your query.

as @benedictevans might say, the incumbents are embracing and integrating AI into existing form factors faster than startups can build them. To win, startups have to create -new- form factors from first principles.
