Rethinking Boundaries in the JavaScript Ecosystem
In recent years, tools in the JavaScript ecosystem have evolved beyond their traditional roles. As individual tools take on a broader range of responsibilities, the boundaries between them are becoming increasingly blurred.
How much should a single tool take on, and what should it leave to other tools or to standards? How can we reconcile preserving compatibility with creating unique value, and technical progress with sustaining an open ecosystem?
In this panel discussion, our panelists will explore where the JavaScript ecosystem stands today and where it may be headed next, through the lens of the boundaries between tools, between implementations and standards, and between projects and communities.

Discussing the Future of Server-Side Frameworks: The Past, Present, and Future with Nitro, Hono, and Elysia
Driven by the evolution and diversification of runtimes like Bun and Deno, as well as the rise of AI agents, server-side development in JavaScript and TypeScript is expanding its roles and domains while blurring the boundaries with the frontend. Amidst these changes, what form should next-generation web frameworks aim for?
In this panel discussion, we welcome Pooya Parsa, Yusuke Wada, and saltyaom—the creators of Nitro (H3), Hono, and Elysia—to delve deep into the theme of "The Past, Present, and Future of Server-Side Frameworks."
Starting with a look back at past design philosophies, the discussion will explore the relationship between developer experience and AI experience in the age of AI. We will also tackle questions such as whether frameworks should be single-function, lightweight parts or evolve into comprehensive foundations that complete the entire development process. This session will comprehensively untangle guidelines for future web development.
