Nuxt 4 is cooking for a while and is close to being released soon. An ideal time for a DejaVue episode where Michael and Alex we explore the upcoming major version of the metaframework with the lead of the Nuxt team, Daniel Roe.

After introducing Daniel, we jump into the power of small changes and how Daniel explains his day job to people. We then dive into why Nuxt 4 is being necessary "now", its top priorities, and how to ease any fears about upgrading (don't worry folks!). Eventually, new Nuxt 4 changes and even features, like the improved folder structure will be discussed. As a bonus, Daniel reveals how he got into programming and that we was a real hacker-man early on.

And of course, Daniel reveals when Nuxt 4 will be released in the final minutes, as well as his upcoming Nuxt for React Devs course.

Enjoy the episode!
