"TypeScript has won. Not as a bundler, but as a language. Deno and Bun have supported it for a long time. And now, type stripping means you can write it natively in stable Node.js versions."
"Despite this, lack of static typing remains the number one language pain point reported by respondents, suggesting that developers who have not yet adopted TypeScript still feel its absence."
"Vite has effectively overtaken Webpack. While Webpack retains slightly higher overall usage at 87 percent compared to Vite's 84 percent, the sentiment gap is significant."
"One respondent on the survey described trying to understand legacy code that uses Webpack can be painful."
The State of JavaScript 2025 survey reveals a stabilized ecosystem with TypeScript leading as the preferred language, used exclusively by 40% of developers. The survey indicates a significant shift towards TypeScript, with only 6% using plain JavaScript. Despite this, many developers still report issues with static typing. In build tools, Vite has gained popularity, achieving a 98% satisfaction score compared to Webpack's 26%. Turbopack, a new Rust-based tool, has low adoption, indicating Vite's strong position in the market.
