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.

Dax β Cross-platform shell for Node.js
TIL about zx! https://github.com/google/zx
This suite of tools feels indispensable. Anything to keep me from having to write/maintain bash scripts that are more than a series of commands.

The Bun Shell
Great point! According to https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/blob/b433beb016470b87850f3c01..., Bun Shell took inspiration from zx[0], dax[1] and bnx[2]

YavaScript: Write shell scripts in JavaScript/TS instead of bash
I really love writing with zx. https://github.com/google/zx
We have some folks who have gone wild copy-pasting random fancy bash snippets into various developer helpers scripts. Zx did like 90% of that stuff out of the box, without being a pile of chaotic custom bash.

Scripting with Go: A Modest Proposal
I ended up using this for my cli scripting needs. https://github.com/google/zx
- And forget about shell scripting in /bin/sh ... I hate to say it, but, this is the middle of 2021 we have react and svelte we need more /etc/shells, we need modern languages all over, we can't do this anymore

Bash. For me it is "read only". It is too arcane, even for me. I use Perl now.

Painless CLI integration testing
We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I donβt want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem β The barrel file debacle
> In the popular jest test runner, each test file is executed in its own child process.
Is that confirmed?
I've been following this issue:
https://github.com/jestjs/jest/issues/6957
And what Jest actually does is still kind of muddy.
In contrast to that, other test runners like AVA have a clear description what happens when:

What Tools Are You Using to Test Your Code?
I've been looking at using japa or ava for web server testing but was curious what others were using and why.

[2023-07-14] Razuberi Development Update
Continued work on the test suite. Implementing AVA, with snapshotting. Making a lot of effort to have the snapshot directory structure match the test262 test directory structure by generating AVA test files.

Ask HN: What's your favorite software testing framework and why?
You might want to give ava a spin:
https://github.com/avajs/ava/
It has a TAP reporter, but more importantly, as opposed to the more popular solutions, like Jest, the way it achieves parallelism is explained in the docs and won't change anytime soon, thus preventing wonky, hard to debug errors which occur when this part is abstracted away.

The new React's documentation
I switched to ava for that reason and have been very happy with it. But vitest looks nice, too. Thanks for the pointer.

How to create and publish a TypeScript library with ease
Runs unit tests using AVA.

Express API Testing
Last but not least important are ava, uvu and tape; they are a really light and fast test runners.

Unit testing: What to use, and how?
I've had some good experiences with Ava + Sinon. I've personally disliked Jest because it seemed to do some weird trickery in the background that prevented me from using ES modules.

Tech stack discussion
Ava for a simpler environment than Jest, which I usually use. I need to check how to mock ESM with it, though.
