JavaScript tooling is shifting to Rust

In 2026, JavaScript tooling is no longer written in JavaScript. Vite's bundler is Rust. TypeScript's compiler is being rewritten in Go. Biome (the linter replacing ESLint) is Rust. Tailwind's engine is Rust. Your test runner (Vitest) is the only tool still in JS -- and it runs on Vite's Rust infrastructure. The tools that build your JavaScript have left JavaScript behind. Here's the full landscape -- what's winning, what's dying, and what just shipped. Which tool switch made the biggest difference in your workflow this year?

Nice styling concept. Color choice is unusual but that's why it works.

This is a really good take, for me personally. Moving to Biome and tsgo has been the game-changer, finally killing the configuration fatigue, we have been carrying.
