Six native alternatives offer significantly better performance: ecode (C++, 50MB disk, 40MB RAM), CudaText (Free Pascal, 20MB disk), Lite (C/Lua, 1MB disk, ultraminimal), Lite XL (improved Lite with better features), Lapce (Rust, VSCode-like workflow, 60MB disk), and Zed (Rust, full VSCode replacement with AI features, 400MB disk). These editors use native rendering through OpenGL, SDL, wgpu, or platform-specific graphics APIs instead of Chromium, achieving 10-30x lower resource usage while providing comparable features through growing plugin ecosystems. 69 17 2. 2 [](https://daily.dev/posts/a-guide-to-async-await-in-typescript-a46gz5oky "A guide to async/await in TypeScript") Article LogRocket · 33w A guide to async/await in TypeScript Async/await in TypeScript provides syntactic sugar over promises, making asynchronous code more readable and maintainable. The guide covers promise fundamentals, error handling with try/catch blocks, concurrent execution patterns using Promise.all and Promise.allSettled, streaming data with for await...of loops, operation cancellation via AbortController, and structured concurrency patterns. TypeScript's static typing adds compile-time safety to async operations, helping catch errors earlier in development. 56 6 3. 3 [](https://daily.dev/posts/cache-components-in-next-js-faster-pages-with-partial-pre-rendering-xe8sns7u1 "Cache components in Next.js: Faster pages with partial pre-rendering") Article LogRocket · 33w Cache components in Next.js: Faster pages with partial pre-rendering Next.js 16 introduces Cache Components, enabling component-level caching that works with Partial Pre-Rendering. Instead of treating entire routes as static or dynamic, developers can mark specific components as cacheable using the 'use cache' directive while keeping request-specific sections dynamic. This allows predictable content like product catalogs to be cached and reused across requests, while personalized data streams in progressively. Combined with React Suspense, pages render immediately with a static shell, then stream dynamic sections as they complete, eliminating blank screens and reducing time-to-first-content from seconds to milliseconds. 10 [See all LogRocket archives](/sources/logrocket/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket/best-of/2026/01#page","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket/best-of/2026/01","name":"Best LogRocket Posts — January 2026","description":"The most upvoted LogRocket posts from January 2026, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket/best-of/2026/01#items","numberOfItems":3,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/6-fast-native-alternatives-for-vscode-fe1b5d70y","name":"6 fast (native) alternatives for VSCode"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/a-guide-to-async-await-in-typescript-a46gz5oky","name":"A guide to async/await in TypeScript"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/cache-components-in-next-js-faster-pages-with-partial-pre-rendering-xe8sns7u1","name":"Cache components in Next.js: Faster pages with partial pre-rendering"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Sources","item":"https://daily.dev/sources"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"LogRocket","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/logrocket/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"January 2026"}]}]} ```
