IN BRIEF:
⭐️ Node’s GitHub repo is sitting at 99,803 stars. Can it hit 100k by next week? You know what to do.. 😄
🟩 The two LTS Node.js branches have received releases backporting features from newer versions: Node v20.10.0 (LTS) gains WebSocket and an experimental flag to auto-detect ESM code. Node v18.19.0 (LTS) gets npm 10 and tweaks for customization hooks and loaders.
Deno rather than Node, but Deno Cron is an interesting addition to their platform – it’s cron-like scheduling of functions both locally and on their edge/FaaS platform. The integration of language features with their hosting platform has its pros and cons but is interesting nonetheless.
We mentioned the release of Mongoose 8.0 (the MongoDB object modelling library) a few weeks ago, but Valeri Karpov now has a post explaining Mongoose 8 in more detail.
Biome Wins the ‘Prettier Challenge’ — Three weeks ago, the creator of Prettierput up a $10k bounty for a Rust-powered code formatter that could pass over 95% of Prettier’s tests. Biome has claimed the prize and everyone is hoping this leads to further advances in performance for both projects.

⚠️NPMprune: Prune Unnecessary Files from node_modules — A script that cleans up node_modules by removing ‘unnecessary files’ meeting various patterns. You need to be really careful with this approach, hence the warning icon! The technique is easy to understand at a glance, though, and could perhaps be extended to offer a ‘dry run’ option?
