What is the standard web application backend framework for Node.js these days, is it Koa? As I understand it express is quite dated because of the callback structure.

I have been confused recently with the moving best practices. What is the server architecture Next.js is most often plugged into?

The "Don't talk about deno" release. Quite an interesting feature list. I'm really interested if wasi + a permission prescription + package authorization might allow us sharable cli tools like git hooks and filters that we can trust.

With testing built into core, I’m looking forward to the reduction in complexity and number of external testing frameworks.

I generally chose tape/ava in the past and vitest these days, but it’s awesome that now a very simple testing mechanism is available in core

Love this. I wonder if we'll eventually have a new merge à la io.js/node.js

Deno and Node are converging more and more on every release, such a deja vu. The main difference being that deno offers much more as a business than just the "deno" product itself, so an eventual merge wouldn't be so trivial.

Denode or Nodeno? Who wants to place bets?

Testing, and now permissions might hit LTS in October! The velocity of dev while maintaining an arguably stable API after over a decade now is just admirable.

They are so rushed with the numbering, I wonder when they will change to that relative to the year. After all, in a few years there will be a Node 50
