Web development keeps getting faster but also more complex. How can you keep up? In this talk, Alex Lichter from VoidZero explores modern JavaScript tooling that aims to fix slow builds and confusing setups. You’ll get a look at Rolldown, the Rust-powered bundler soon to be Vite’s default, and Oxc, a compiler that offers fast linting and formatting alongside bundling power. Discover why these tools matter, how they work, and how you can start using them today to speed up your development and simplify your workflow. #Rolldown #OxcCompiler #Vite #JavaScriptTooling #FrontendNation #FEN2025 #AlexLichter #WebDev Build smarter, build faster. 💻 Read our blog: https://frontendnation.com/blog 🎟️ Sign up for Frontend Nation 2026 to stay updated: https://frontendnation.com/ 💜 Special thanks to all our event sponsors for 2025: Diamond Sponsors AG Grid: https://www.ag-grid.com/charts/?utm_source=frontend-nation&utm_medium=logo&utm_campaign=frontend-nation-sponsorship-2025 BitterBrains: https://bitterbrains.com/ Vue School: https://vueschool.io/ Certificates.dev: https://certificates.dev/ InstantDev: https://instantdev.io/ Platinum Sponsors Cypress: https://www.cypress.io/ Sentry: https://sentry.io/signup/?utm_source=event&utm_medium=sponsored-event&utm_campaign=general-fy26q2-evergreen&utm_content=signup-frontendnation2025-signup JavaScript Cert: https://certificates.dev/javascript Vue.js Cert: https://certificates.dev/vuejs/ Angular Cert: https://certificates.dev/angular React Cert: https://certificates.dev/react Nuxt Cert: https://certificates.dev/nuxt TypeScript Cert: https://certificates.dev/typescript Agorify: https://agorify.com/ Gold Sponsors Mastering Nuxt: https://masteringnuxt.com/ Mastering Pinia: https://masteringpinia.com/ LevelUp DX: https://levelupdx.com/
