Introducing Bun: A New Contender in JavaScript Runtimes As the landscape of JavaScript and TypeScript runtimes continues to evolve, a new player has entered the arena: Bun. Currently in beta, Bun is positioning itself as a formidable alternative to established options like Node.js and Deno. It promises to deliver rapid startup times and unparalleled performance, all while bundling essential tools such as a bundler, transpiler, and package manager within its framework. This comprehensive approach aims to simplify the development process for programmers, allowing them to focus on building high-quality applications without the hassle of integrating multiple tools. The vision behind…

When it comes to web server performance, three critical metrics stand out: scalability, latency, and throughput. Achieving a balance between low latency and high throughput while accommodating an increasing number of users poses significant challenges for developers. Node.js, a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 engine, addresses these issues effectively by adopting a non-blocking architecture for handling requests. This approach ensures that the server does not waste time or resources waiting for I/O operations to complete, allowing it to serve multiple requests simultaneously. In traditional web server models, each incoming request typically leads to the creation of a new thread…

Deno 1.26, released on September 29, marks a significant milestone for the TypeScript and JavaScript runtime, particularly in its efforts to enhance compatibility with Node.js. The update highlights Deno’s commitment to bridging gaps between the two environments, making it easier for developers to transition or integrate their applications across both platforms. This latest version focuses on expanding the functionality of the Node.js compatibility layer, which is essential for developers looking to leverage existing Node.js code within Deno. One of the key improvements in Deno 1.26 is the implementation of several previously unsupported APIs in the Node.js compatibility layer. This enhancement…

The State of JavaScript survey, conducted annually since 2016, has become a pivotal resource for understanding the evolving landscape of JavaScript frameworks, techniques, and features. The most recent survey, launched in the spring of 2022, yielded a wealth of insights into developer preferences and the technologies shaping the industry. With a broad array of data now available, we can glean critical trends that highlight where JavaScript is headed. In the world of front-end frameworks, React continues to dominate in terms of usage and awareness, holding the top spot since its inception. However, its ranking shifts when looking at interest and…

The question of whether to retire the legacy programming languages C and C++ in favor of Rust has been ignited by influential voices in the tech community, including Mark Russinovich, the CTO of Microsoft Azure. On September 19, Russinovich tweeted that the time has come to stop initiating new projects in C/C++, advocating for Rust as the go-to language for scenarios where garbage collection (GC) languages are unsuitable. He emphasized that adopting Rust would enhance security and reliability in software development, suggesting that the industry should consider deprecating C and C++ for new projects. Rust, originally a research initiative by…

The C programming language, developed in 1972, remains a cornerstone of software engineering, powering operating systems, embedded devices, and the infrastructure that underpins the modern computing world. Despite the emergence of dozens of newer languages that have sought to dethrone it, C’s relevance persists. Languages like Rust, Go, and Python have gained traction by offering new features or simplifying development processes, yet none have fully eclipsed C. The reasons behind C’s lasting influence are deeply rooted in its performance, bare-metal capabilities, and widespread adoption across platforms. When comparing C to other popular languages, its advantages and drawbacks become evident. C…

With the arrival of Java 19 on September 20, attention has quickly shifted to what’s coming in JDK 20, expected to release in March 2023. Developers and enterprises alike are eager to see what the next iteration of the Java Development Kit will offer, particularly in the areas of enhanced generics, data immutability, and more efficient string handling. The update may also mark the transition of some preview features into finalized language capabilities, such as record patterns, further enhancing Java’s robustness. As of late September, the OpenJDK webpage had not listed any officially proposed features for JDK 20. However, this…

Jakarta EE 10 marks a significant milestone for the Eclipse Foundation’s enterprise Java platform, officially launched with a strong focus on cloud-native application development. This version arrives with improvements aimed at making it easier for developers to build, deploy, and manage Java applications in modern cloud environments. With a growing demand for cloud-based solutions, Jakarta EE 10’s enhancements reflect an industry-wide shift towards more scalable and efficient cloud-native architectures. Among the major components of this release are the Jakarta EE 10 Platform, the updated Web Profile, and the introduction of the new Core Profile. The Core Profile is designed to…

ASP.NET Core 6 brought a significant shift to how web APIs are built by introducing a streamlined hosting model designed to simplify the development process. This model supports the creation of minimal APIs, a lightweight approach that forgoes the traditional use of controllers in favor of a more compact syntax with fewer dependencies. While this simplification speeds up development and reduces complexity, it comes with certain trade-offs, notably the absence of several familiar ASP.NET features. One of the most notable features missing from minimal APIs in ASP.NET Core 6 was the use of filters. Filters are powerful tools in ASP.NET…

Building a web application often involves tough choices about which technologies to use and the challenge of piecing them together into a cohesive stack. Every decision, from selecting a frontend framework to managing APIs and database connections, requires significant planning and effort. Redwood.js aims to simplify this process by providing an all-in-one solution based on React, offering a fully integrated stack that gets you up and running quickly. This means that instead of spending time wiring up separate tools and technologies, developers can jump right into building features using a framework that has already made those critical decisions for them.…
