Meta is spinning off React to the newly formed React Foundation, with a new technical governance structure. It will be under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation.
The React Foundation will be governed by a board of directors, headed by Seth Webster as the executive director. Webster is currently the head of React at Meta. This, obviously, moves React out of Meta, but Meta remains one of the founding corporate members, along with Amazon, Callstack, Expo, Microsoft, Software Mansion and Vercel.
“What started out as a tool developed for Meta has expanded into a project that spans multiple companies with regular contributions from across the ecosystem,” the announcement stated. “React has outgrown the confines of any one company.”
The React Foundation will also be the home for React Native and for some supporting projects, such as JSX. It will maintain React’s infrastructure, such as GitHub and CI. It will also organize React Conf and create initiatives to support the React ecosystem, such as financial support of ecosystem projects, issuing grants and creating programs.
The technical governance structure will be created and shared with the community for feedback once the foundation is in place.
The Angular Team announced last week that it’s now possible to generate Angular apps using the Google AI Studio.
“We know that developers are embracing AI and code generation as a part of their daily workflows,” wrote Mark Thompson, a developer relations engineer at Google who works with Angular. Whether it is generating code to prototype a new app experience for your users or getting help on your existing projects — AI is there in the process. We want to ensure that Angular is in the places where developers are building.”
He added that this was a collaboration between the Angular team and AI Studio team, with the goal of bringing the power of Gemini and AI tooling to the Angular community.
Embrace is seeking contributors to maintain a Kotlin implementation of the OTel specification codebase that can be used with the Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP).
The call to action comes after Embrace, a user-focused observability platform for mobile and the web, had opened a proposal to donate a Kotlin implementation of the OTel specification.
The specification was developed as a KMP Library and currently runs on Android, JVM, iOS and JavaScript targets.
Contributors will also need to participate in regular Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings and “generally help drive the SDK forward,” the announcement stated.
KMP enables developers to run Kotlin code on different platforms, such as browser, server and desktop environments.
“Traditionally Kotlin has been most popular on Android and the JVM, but with the advent of KMP the number of folks using it to share code between different platforms has been steadily growing,” the announcement stated.
ESLint recently dropped its development plan for version 10.0.0, and among the changes is that it will drop support for Node.js v20.19.0 or later.
“The updated Node.js requirements will enable ESLint to leverage newer JavaScript features, including native support for require(esm) (enabled by default since Node.js v20.19.0), and improved performance characteristics of modern Node.js versions,” wrote ESLint creator Nicholas Zakas.
The post notes that ESLint v9.0.0 deprecated the old eslintrc config system while leaving the functionality available for backwards compatibility. In the next version, that will be removed entirely, which Zakas said means the ESLINT_USE_FLAT_CONFIG environment variable and eslintrc.* and eslintignore will all no longer be honored. Also, the CLI no longer supports eslintrc-specific arguments.
However, the loadESLint() function now always returns the ESLint class.
Finally, the eslint:recommended configuration will be updated to include new rules that help catch common programming errors and improve code quality, he wrote.
It’s a very detailed plan with additional code changes outlined in the ESLint blog post.
Ahead of Vercel’s Next.js Conf on Oct. 22, the team has released a beta of Next.js 16. It provides access to the latest improvements to Turbopack, caching and the Next.js architecture ahead of the stable release, the team wrote.
New additions to the framework include:
