Vitest 4 is out! The added support for spying on classes and that sounds pretty neat.

The only problem is they dropped support for Node.js 18. It uses 'node:inspector/promises' which was introduced in Node.js 19.

So I guess I have to remove Node 18 from my CI matrix?

If you think npm's architecture is good, go watch @darcyclarke.me's talk. The dependency graph is complex and @vlt.sh is reinventing it in a smart and unique way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8nG...

🎉 Congrats to Ethan Arrowood for winning the Leading by Example JavaScriptLandia Award from the @openjsf at #JSConf 2025!

Ethan’s impact spans the JS ecosystem — from @nodejs, Undici, and WinterCG to his leadership within OpenJS and contributions to Harper’s open-source efforts.
