Of course you're hyped. JS is a core part of your personality.

seems like bun is a very positive influence on node
I'm getting re-hyped about good 'ol NodeJS! It's always been great, and getting better. I tried Deno, Bun, etc. and I just find myself always coming "home" to Node. 🙂
its not u-websocket its micro-websocket btw
You’re hyped because you’re always are
The problem is that the hype only lasts for five minutes until the next………
Nice, these features look dope!
FTW built in glob and watch 💯
If node22 fixes this stuff, is there a reason to use bun anyway? I still had no time to test it but heard different opinions about it. And tbh, Never change a running system and I will stay probably on node/npm anyway.
thanks bun for pushing node
rip nodemon
Super cool
do people still use Nodejs?
damn were still on v16 at work
The official pronunciation of nodemon is on their website, and it says it's whichever you feel like lol
My question is: Node 18 was “Hydrogen” (H), Node 20 was “Iron” (I), what will Node 22 (J) be called? There aren’t any periodic table elements that start with J 🤔
IMO never gonna touch node or npm again. The module transitions has been handled so horribly … they should just close the committee,move on and let the new generation of runtime take over
It's not no-demon, it's node-mon
As in, node monitor
I am VERY fun at parties, I must say.
EDIT: AAH FUCK chat beat me to it.
Hey question: when using npm run dev on a nextjs project it seems like files are updated on save without the update and —watch. How was this done before + will this be faster now?
Node is crap
WHUT!! but we're still using node 8!!
