Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How To Secure Your JavaScript Applications
Use Security Tools: To identify known vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies, you can utilize commands like npm audit or employ third-party security scanners such as DependencyCheck or Dependabot. These tools thoroughly analyze the dependency tree and offer actionable insights to assist you in resolving any identified vulnerabilities.

Do you use dependency analysis and vulnerability detection tools?
OWASP DependencyCheck - a really decent tool for scanning your project for vulnerable dependencies. It is actively developed and updated and up to date with the most latest vulnerabilities. Sometimes it can be a pain in the ass, though. Some security researchers and such find a vulnerability, publish it and the next day our CI/CD pipelines fail (the dependency check build step prevents the code from going to production). And not always there is a fix available. So, some vulnerabilities have to be ignored, temporarily. Also, to be able to ignore a vulnerability one has to do a fast risk assessment. And that will require from him to read about the vulnerability and decide if it is safe to be ignored or some different workaround must be found.

Is Clojure suitable for my use cases?
We run https://github.com/jeremylong/DependencyCheck over our dependency tree regularly, via this Clojure wrapper: https://github.com/clj-holmes/clj-watson which tells us the dependency tree path to each item that has a CVE and also the version in which the CVE is addressed, if known.

Gitlab community dependency scanning
We use OWASP dependency-check and pass reports to SonarQube.

Security in CICD / DevSecOps
From OWASP for those class of tools you could look into DependencyCheck and DependencyTrack
- Is there a tool to track CVEs for the software that we use?

Does anybody know any good materials for java defensive coding please?.
DependencyCheck is an open source tool that checks for vulnerabilities in dependencies used within a project. While it is a reactive tool, it's an important one since the code a developer writes is not the only code an application uses.

Are there any tools I can use to safely upgrade my Nuget packages? What are some strategies I can incorporate?
One more aspect to consider, although I know it is not the primary ask of the post, is to be sure and run something like dependency check on your repository. There are quite a few vulnerabilities being injected through the packaging process these days.

Misty Programming Language
This is the spec for the language Douglas Crockford (author of the book "JavaScript: The Good Parts", the JSON specification[1], JSLint[2]) had explained in his famous talk: "The Next Programming Language"[3].
The "big things" in the language are the Actor model, favouring immutability and capabilities-based security.

JavaScript Is Weird
Someone should write a book about this [0] and a tool to automate checking your JavaScript code [1].

I'm working on a book called "How to not get your knickers in a twist because you neglected to learn from people who came before you."

How To Secure Your JavaScript Applications
One way to achieve this is by using linting tools like ESLint or JSLint. These tools automatically analyze your code for errors, stylistic inconsistencies, and potential security vulnerabilities. By customizing the linting rules to align with coding standards and best practices, you can identify and rectify potential security issues early in the development process. Linting helps maintain a clean and secure codebase.

JavaScript import maps are now supported cross-browser
>Does this mean that in theory i could skip the build/bundling step entirely?
You can but you must write your app in something the browser understands (js not ts, css not sass etc) and use native modules. For example, here is the test harness for a custom module, written in pure html with no build step: https://github.com/javajosh/simpatico/blob/master/combine2.h.... Here is a more complex (and much older) example from Crockford: https://www.jslint.com/
And yes, the experience developing this way is quite nice!

Find ES6 features in any JS code
I came across a problem where I had to find the ES6 features used by any javascript project and other data regarding their use. When I reached out to stackoverflow, I could find only one relevant post which asks you to use linters like jshint/jshint or compilers like babel. Jslint didn't seem to report anything specific to ES6 and Babel converts all the ES6+ features to ES5 but doesn't report anything regarding which constructs were used or how many times they were used. However, Jshint reported all ES6 features used in the code along with some metadata. And, to suit my needs, I ended up writing a python script that calls Jshint on all JS files in a project and presents the features used in the project and the number of times they were used across all files. You can find the code here : jsHintRunner

The Why & How To Create A Front-End Website Testing Plan
Javascript Linting parses and checks if any syntax is violating the rule. If a violation occurs, a warning is shown explaining unexpected behavior. Use the online version for small projects: JSLint, ESLint or JSHint. For larger projects, it is recommended to use a task runner like Gulp or Grunt. Linters ensure developers are following the best practices as a result of which few bugs appear during project development.

Disambiguating Jamstack and MACH
Programmers of classical languages hate JavaScript because it's prototype-based, dynamic and weakly typed (among other complaints). It's also the number one most in-demand programming language in 2022 according to a number of independent surveys. JSLint can help you write better JavaScript and JSMin can minify your code before deployment. These tools were created by Douglas Crockford. I would recommend his books JavaScript: The Good Parts for programmers coming to JavaScript for the first time, and How JavaScript Works for experienced JavaScript programmers.
