Welcome to Syntax today. We're going to talk about modern JavaScript toolchain. So there's been a lot of movement in this sort of area lately a whole bunch of new tools around linters, compilers, transpilers, formaters, tokenizers, bundles, all kinds of stuff.

And it's kind of interesting because you think like a part of you is like,

ah, do we really need all these tools? Like do we need new versions of them? But then once

he hit one of the issues or sometimes you have like, oh yeah, I've got 14 tools all

working perfectly together and I got my

VS code set up with them and if something breaks I will cry I think these new

tools are solving both speed as well as for developer experience.

So we're gonna talk today about what are these different areas of tooling?

Like what are we working with right now?

And what do the new ones look like? There's a couple that are very promising and there's a couple that are just like, I don't know, pie in this guy, people playing with ideas that I think are pretty nifty as well.

So, how you doing today, Scott?

Hey, doing good.

My son is home with Pink Eye.

So that's great.

We're just like, you know, hoping that the pink eye does not spread.

Oh, yeah. So that's, you know, that's how it is, but, you know, all things could be worse. You know, there's, I think there's worse kid sicknesses than

pink eye maybe right like there's no vomit involved there you go yeah no

fever is involved I think I think we're doing okay so yeah I'm doing all right over here. Yeah, not a whole lot not a whole lot to complain about and

specifically I don't have that much to complain about because I'm learning all kinds of new stuff on the

syntax YouTube channel that's right we're on YouTube folks
