  • Bringing Forward the End-of-Life Date for Node.js 16

    The dates were known in advance - however, the Node team expected OpenSSL 3 to be out before the release of Node 16, but it didn't happen - so they had to release with OpenSSL 1.1.1. Between the lines, I think that there was some minor hope of maybe upgrading, but obviously it was to difficult.

    >After the Node incident, it's highly likely Ashley Williams is involved again due to her propensity for racism and sexism.

    I didn't know what this was referring to so I looked it up.

    Here's a Reddit thread which seems to be the genesis of the complaint (an archive link because the actual post was removed):

  • What you need to know about ES modules in Node.js
    5 projects | dev.to | 18 Jan 2021
    If Node.js 12.x and 14.x releases have full support for ES modules, what gives? I was wondering the same, so I asked Matteo Collina on Twitter (he's a member of the Node.js TSC). Myles Borins (also a member of the TSC) chimed in on the thread to explain the rationale behind ES modules being marked as 'Experimental' in the 12.x and 14.x release lines:

What are some alternatives?

When comparing build and TSC you can also consider the following projects:

JSON.minify - Simple minifier for JSON to remove comments and whitespace

Sinon.JS - Test spies, stubs and mocks for JavaScript.

nvm - Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions
