“The speed improvement is not a micro-optimization — it changes CI feedback loops and editor responsiveness.”
“Vitest does everything Jest does faster with better ESM support. New projects should start with Vitest.”
“Rust-based tooling replacing JavaScript tools is the trend. Biome is the most impactful example.”
