Also this one, which I've come around to quite like :)
ncspot is another amazing option if you're comfortable with the terminal.

Spot (Native Spotify client for GNOME) seems unmaintained.
Hello fellow GNOME enthusiasts. I think I'm not the only one that happily uses the beautiful native Spotify client Spot.

APIs in Go with Huma 2.0
I wound up on a different team with pre-existing Python code so temporarily shelved my use of Go for a bit, and we used Sanic (an async Python framework built on top of the excellent uvloop & libuv that also powers Node.js) to build some APIs for live channel management & operations. We hand-wrote our OpenAPI and used it to generate documentation and a CLI, which was an improvement over what was there (or not) before. Other teams used the OpenAPI document to generate SDKs to interact with our service.

Notes: Advanced Node.js Concepts by Stephen Grider
In the source code of the Node.js opensource project, lib folder contains JavaScript code, mostly wrappers over C++ and function definitions. On the contrary, src folder contains C++ implementations of the functions, which pulls dependencies from the V8 project, the libuv project, the zlib project, the llhttp project, and many more - which are all placed at the deps folder.

A complete guide to the Node.js event loop
Libuv, the C library that gives Node.js its asynchronous, non-blocking I/O capability is responsible for managing the thread pool. Node.js gives you the capability of using additional threads for computationally expensive and long-lasting operations to avoid blocking the event loop.

What is Node.js?: A Complete Guide
Node.js is written in C, C++, and JavaScript. The core components of Node.js - the V8 engine and the libuv library - are written in C++ and C, respectively, since these languages provide low-level access to system resources, making them well-suited for building high-performance and efficient applications. JavaScript is mainly used to write the application logic.

Node v20.3.0 (Current) upgrade to libuv 1.45.0, including SIGNIFICANT performance improvements to file system operations on Linux

Node.js – v20.3.0
Notably upgrades to libuv 1.45 which has io_uring support. Faster file system access! Awhh yeah, it's on.
Remarkable what a mild & unintrusive PR adding io_uring was. https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3952

Using Parallel Processing in Node.js and its Limitations
Well, the single-threaded nature ultimately leads to its biggest downfall. Node.js utilizes a synchronous event loop engineered using Libuv that takes in code from the call stack and executes it.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing spot and libuv you can also consider the following projects:
spotify-qt - Lightweight Spotify client using Qt
libevent - Event notification library
widevine-l3-guesser
Boost.Asio - Asio C++ Library
ncspot - Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust, inspired by ncmpc and the likes.
libev - Full-featured high-performance event loop loosely modelled after libevent
Cider - A new cross-platform Apple Music experience based on Electron and Vue.js written from scratch with performance in mind. 🚀
tokio-uring - An io_uring backed runtime for Rust
psst - Fast and multi-platform Spotify client with native GUI
uvw - Header-only, event based, tiny and easy to use libuv wrapper in modern C++ - now available as also shared/static library!
