Who doesn't like less code in the final bundle? Rolldown can remove a lot of different globals when they are side-effect free (and unused). More than any other bundler right now, including Rollup! And that's not the end, more tree-shaking improvements are on the way. But... when would this matter? Not like you just leave an unused variable in your code, right? 👀 It makes tree-shaking even more effective. Think of something like `const cache = import.meta.DEV ? new Map() : null` When DEV becomes false, new Map() can not be removed *unless* marked as side-effect free, which Rolldown does! Same with library internals you never call or dead branches. Eventually, this leads to smaller bundles without any extra configuration.

Did you know Vitest has `expect.poll`? It reruns an assertion until it passes (or times out). You can configure how many times Vitest should rerun the `expect.poll` callback with custom interval and timeout options. Perfect for testing async workflows like background jobs or eventual consistency. No need wrapping everything in `vi.waitFor`! More in the docs https://lnkd.in/gA_YqrAX

Are you using Rolldown and want to parse a file? Then you don't have to install Oxc separately. Just use Rolldown's `parse`/`parseSync` function. Rolldown re-exports it from Oxc while keeping it as part of Rolldown's binary. This way, your dependencies stay lean! Well, as lean as your node_modules allow 👀

🔧 A new Rolldown chunk optimization just landed! When a module is both statically AND dynamically imported, Rolldown no longer creates an unnecessary extra chunk and inlines the import instead. Same module, one less network request. ✅ Available since the latest Rolldown beta. Wanna see the code? Check out the PR https://lnkd.in/gARhmtn5

Vite crossed 40M weekly downloads! 🥳 2x the beginning of 2025! Or +0.5M downloads per week. Huge shoutout to the contributors and the community for making Vite the gold standard for web dev. 🥂

Vitest hit 20 million weekly downloads in December, right before Christmas break. To put that into context: 5 million weekly downloads were reached in June 2024, meaning a 4x increase in just 1.5 years. 🎉
