Node.js 22; Bun 1.1.5; JSR is not a package manager

Node.js 22: require() ESM modules, --run package scripts, --watch files, fs.glob() and more

nodejs.org @nodejs@social.lfx.dev

Highlights:
  • V8 is updated to 12.4 and now supports WebAssembly Garbage Collection, Array.fromAsync(), Set methods, iterator helper methods and more.
  • “V8’s Maglev Compiler is now enabled by default on supported architectures. Maglev improves performance for short-lived CLI programs.”
  • require() works for any ESM module – as long as there aren’t any asynchronous modules (with top-level await) in its import graph (its imports, the imports of its imports, etc.).
  • Support for running package.json scripts via node --run <script-name>
  • Watch mode (node --watch): If the watched files change, Node.js is restarted.
  • Pattern matching via fs.glob() and fs.globSync()

Bun 1.1.5: cross-compile executables, new crash reporter, import files as text, and more

  • bun.report is Bun's new crash reporter (more information on bun.report)
  • Import files as "text", "json", "toml", "file"

JSR is not another package manager

deno.com github.com/ry @deno_land@fosstodon.org

Quote (emphasis mine): “Today, most JavaScript is written using ES modules, yet the pathways for distributing these modules remain convoluted, especially when TypeScript is involved. This clear gap in the ecosystem prompted the creation of JSR, not as another package manager but as a transformative registry designed to revolutionize how JavaScript and TypeScript are shared across server-side runtimes, browsers, and various tools.”
