"A single Cloudflare engineer rebuilt the Next.js API surface (App Router, RSC, Server Actions, middleware) on Vite in one week using AI for $1,100. Using Oxc/Rolldown, it builds 4.4x and produces 57% smaller bundles. Using the Vite Environment API, it overcomes OpenNext limits, making it compatible with edge runtimes such as Cloudflare Workers."
"What started as a bold experiment became vinext. It passes 2000+ tests and has 94% test coverage of the Next.js 16 API surface. The cio.gov website already runs it in production. It also introduces new concepts such as 'Traffic-aware Pre-Rendering'."
"On the React Native side, Hermes is moving beyond mobile: Hermes-node brings the engine to Node.js as a potential V8 swap. CSS Grid is also coming to React Native, and TanStack Router has an early PoC running natively."
The React Foundation officially launched, marking a significant milestone for the React ecosystem. Cloudflare successfully rebuilt the entire Next.js framework using AI in just one week, creating vinext, which passes over 2000 tests with 94% coverage of the Next.js 16 API surface. This AI-driven implementation builds 4.4x faster and produces 57% smaller bundles using Oxc/Rolldown and Vite. On the React Native front, Hermes is expanding beyond mobile through Hermes-node, bringing the JavaScript engine to Node.js as a potential V8 alternative. CSS Grid support is coming to React Native, and TanStack Router has an early proof-of-concept running natively on the platform.
