Beyond the Framework: Building for the Next Decade of the Web
summary
Argues frameworks are inevitable and often the right tool, then shows concrete work: Nuxt + Nitro extensions, Unifont and Fontaine libraries, and a Fontless Vite plugin that downloads and serves fonts locally and injects font metrics to reduce layout shift. Claims framework-level optimizations cut total JS by ~40% and unload‑unused JS by ~66% on nuxt.com. Mentions shipped features like partial hydration and resumability, zero‑config module federation and Rust/Go‑powered bundlers enabling these gains.
