First meeting of JSR (JS registry) working group

www.reddit.com @deno_land@fosstodon.org

The slides for the meeting give a good overview of JSR’s status quo and the plans for its future. Quoting one slide:
  • JSR is designed to be a registry for the entire JavaScript ecosystem. Hence it should not be controlled by a single entity.
  • We would like to move JSR into the control of an open foundation.
  • JSR is operationally detached from Deno already. The JSR “brand” is too. This should make an actual move pretty easy.
  • The Deno company can continue to pay for hosting infrastructure, even after the move to a foundation.

Why I’m skeptical of rewriting JavaScript tools in “faster” languages

nolanlawson.com @nolan@toot.cafe

As with many issues, there are pros and cons to rewriting (or implementing) tools for JavaScript in other languages such as Rust (used, e.g., by Vite) and Go (used, e.g., by esbuild). This blog post focuses on the cons.

Ship fast. Stay secure.
