NodeJS 22 Just Dropped, Here's Why I'm Hyped

I use nodemon. I also call it no demon 😈

Man, you had me in "kill esm" 😅

f* currently moving from node 14 to node 20 and now i have to move to 22? lol

That’s a lot of nodeable changes

Hey need to say this. By coincidence. I was trying npm wasm rust for some webgl power. Today. Updated to 22. Wasm rust she wants node 16... fml i dont know. Perhaps someone does

Can you do a vid on your desktop env?

When do we stop using one function packages? the more dependencies a project requires the more space it needs and the higher the risk is for malicious packages to be included.

Totally different from prime''s latest title about uninstalling node :D

The JS Ecosystem needs to die, sorry to the Frontend Devs but the industry took some weird turns. Now we celebrate features which solve problems that should not be there in the first place. JS had it's time in history, i get that. Now let it rest in history and move on.

What vscode theme is that?

Its node mon....

To the Editor: good job 👍 on cutting the vid, figuring out the jumping around in the original recording must have been a headache 😅

I'll admit to being hyped. Set operations? Yes please. A lot of that other stuff looks interesting as well.

I'll definitely be trying 22 soon. We don't use node much in production at this time, but that changes later this year, so developing in 22 is practical. I'll hold off on the stuff behind experimental flags, however.

What you said about Watchman is kind of funny. Do you know how the `make` program determines when to rebuild a file? When the source has a more recent timestamp than the binary. It's really that simple. And the same process can be used on Windows by just stat'ing the file. Back when I used Win98 I knew how to use the Win32 API to stat a file and compare timestamps. So if any devs for any project needed to use a third-party program to determine when to rebuild files, they should be embarrassed. Hopefully I'm not calling you out, it's just something I found funny.

I’m very excited for not having to use isomorphic websocket libraries from october next year onwards

You know node really did change something when he talks about node

Finally RIP Watchman!

I never thought of it being no-demon. Ive always said node-mon.

What terminal is that?

i hate when he goes "whooooh!"

Theo is always hyped

Can someone explain why require(esm) is such a good thing or atleast point me in the right direction to figure it out myself?

WHUT!! but we're still using node 8!!

Node is crap

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?

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.

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

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 🤔

The official pronunciation of nodemon is on their website, and it says it's whichever you feel like lol

damn were still on v16 at work

do people still use Nodejs?

Super cool

rip nodemon

thanks bun for pushing node

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.

Nice, these features look dope!
FTW built in glob and watch 💯

You’re hyped because you’re always are
The problem is that the hype only lasts for five minutes until the next………

its not u-websocket its micro-websocket btw

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. :)

seems like bun is a very positive influence on node

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

So glad we're getting a built-in node watcher.

Okay, I've never seen that node -p command. Super useful, especial in package.json scripts! Thanks!

at 5.25 why did he say finally kill ESM for nodejs? are ESModules bad? if so why?

Thanks for the forecast! I have a quick question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?

Already using it to learn some of the more complex concepts that i was missing. Watch is great.

Smoke test done. Older node app runs fine. The only bug I found, using Node 22, was in my own source;) Fixed!

Great video
