deno.comFresh 1.1 - automatic JSX, plugins, DevTools, and moreThis release makes Fresh even more powerful with automatic JSX, plugins, DevTools integration and more.

Yet another full-stack web framework was released relatively recently. Its name is Fresh and it is made explicitly for Deno. But, what is Deno?

Deno is a simple, modern and secure runtime for JavaScript, TypeScript, and WebAssembly that uses V8 and is built in Rust.

This update brings a ton of new changes:

• Automatic JSX

• Plugins

  • Official twind plugin

• Preact Signals support

• Preact DevTools support

• Explicit rendering of 404 pages

• Stacked middleware

• Experimental Deno.serve support

• Showcase & "Made with Fresh" badges

Why is this interesting? Well mainly the first point of Automatic JSX. This seems to be a recurring functionality in full stack web frameworks to automatically include JSX or React in full.

Very exciting times to be a React developer.

BREAKING: Adobe is nearing a deal to acquire Figma, a startup that makes online design collaboration tools, sources say trib.al/u7hC3Sn

On to more saddening news. Adobe has acquired Figma. On the surface this may seem exciting because these types of moves typically mean a lot more resources and money for software like Figma, it also has potential disappointing consequences.

Adobe already had a Figma-like product, this essentially removes a competitor from the landscape. This means users are the ones that suffer as less innovation is required.

not to mention this may mean that in the future there is a chance that for regular developers Figma will no longer have a generous free-tier…
