Unflagged TypeScript support is just around the corner

IN BRIEF:

• The Node project will soon be issuing a CVE for ‘end of life’ Node.js versions, essentially as an official way to notify users of Node 16 and below that they are very much unmaintained and may pose a security risk.

• As an aside, we learn from the above item that Node 16 is still being downloaded 11 million times a month, despite being EOL for over a year.

• 📺 A few months ago, Node.js creator Ryan Dahl gave a talk at GOTO Chicago 2024 about Deno 2, covering Deno’s differences to Node and what Deno 2.0 (and JSR) has to offer JavaScript developers, complete with live demos.
