971: Stackoverflow and Firefox are Dead?

Welcome to Syntax. Today, we've got a whole bunch of web development news for you. Stack Overflow is officially dead. Is is that the case? Why did it die? There's a new JavaScript runtime in town, which is not what you would expect. There is an open source CloudFlare workers that's written in Rust. Kinda interesting. Can Firefox survive all of these new in the new age of AI, fractured JSON, new spec for formatting JSON? Apple now has to allow browser engines in Japan, which is kinda interesting, and then a new pop up you may have seen popping up in your Google Chrome recently. We're gonna explain what that all is. So some pretty good stuff. My name is Wes Bos. I'm a web developer from Canada with me as always. Scott, how are you doing today? I'm doing good, man. Yeah. Just hanging out, feeling good.

And I was like, the the most focused time I've had on a single project in quite a little while. And the results spoke for themselves. I yeah. It came out really good.
