JavaScript is here to stay.
It has been another busy month. I published a new major version of my webpack book (https://survivejs.com/blog/webpack-book-version-3/) . Tomorrow, 2nd of December, React Finland mini-conference about performance (https://react-finland.fi/) will take place.
We also published a new version of MonoLisa (https://www.monolisa.dev/?utm_source=jster) , a popular font for coders. At the same time, we made the basic version a bit more affordable while offering more options.
