All we want to do is write good code and ship cool features. Why can’t JavaScript development environments just work?
JavaScript developers continually deal with:
- library version inconsistencies
- installation and configuration differences between team members
- module differences
- divergent configuration setups
Plus other problems that slow down development and cause “Works-on-my-machine-itis”. What if you could declare your toolchain as code and everything would just work no matter which OS or environment you need?
Introducing Volta – The Hassle-Free JavaScript Tool Manager
Volta is a tool that bills itself as the “Hassle-Free JavaScript Tool Manager”. The project released the 1.0 version at the end of last year and promises to streamline how we work. On January 27th, at 1 PM ET, we’ll take a solid look at Volta with the help of Volta Lead Maintainer Chuck Pierce. The best part is you get to help shape the show! If you have a question about Volta, Toolchains as Code, or anything relevant to the show, leave a comment below and we’ll add it to our list to cover.
During the show, we’ll:
- Get a demo of Volta
- Learn what’s wrong with the current JavaScript tooling
- Find out how to tame monorepos
- Understand how Volta can work inside complex development organizations
- Discuss why the team chose Rust over JavaScript as the platform language
- See what can be done about internal dependency chains
