    Lodash gets 100M+ downloads a day. For years, it was primarily maintained by one person: @jdalton Then life happened. He stepped back. Now Lodash is entering a new phase with shared governance and support from the OpenJS Foundation. Big reminder: Open source isn’t just

    Excited to share that Oxc and Rolldown now support property mangling! It shortens internal property names to reduce bundle size. This was a missing piece for some projects moving to Vite 8, and it’s finally here. Try it in the demo ↓ repl.rolldown.rs/#eNp9U8Fu2zAM/…
