JavaScript YouTube Digest #2 October 23, 2024

This month's digest is brimming with links, thanks to the amazing speakers at ViteConf, Netlify Compose and also CityJS London, which was held in April but has had its talk videos released at the end of last month.

There have also been some TC39 news, and many new releases from Astro, Svelte, Next and even @fastify/vue from yours truly.

Deno 2.0 is also out, and last but not least, Node v23 has been released with require(esm) enabled by default.
