Nx 15.8 — Rust Hasher, Nx Console for IntelliJ, Deno, Node and Storybook

Nx 15.8 introduces several noteworthy enhancements designed to boost developer productivity and efficiency, including a new Rust-based Hasher that offers improved performance over the previous Git-based implementation, particularly in handling file changes. The update also brings experimental support for Deno, allowing developers to generate Deno applications and libraries within an Nx workspace, fostering easier sharing of TypeScript packages across different platforms. The Nx Console now extends its reach to IntelliJ and WebStorm, thanks to community contributions, facilitating project management and task execution with enhanced user experience through features like field prioritization. Additionally, the release advances modular Node application development by supporting non-bundled outputs and optimizing Docker setups. Storybook integration has been updated to use Component Storybook Format 3, which simplifies story creation and maintenance. These improvements are part of a broader effort to streamline workflows and support a diverse range of developer tools and environments.
