SeattleJS is this Wednesday night at Just The Tap!

On deck we have:

This was a very good read. It's also a good reminder to check our own NPM access token pages and maybe delete old lingering tokens.

Release pnpm 10.16 Β· pnpm/pnpm Minor Changes There have been several incidents recently where popular packages were successfully attacked. To reduce the risk of installing a compromised version, we are introducing a new settin...

pnpm v10.16.0 adds "minimumReleaseAge", a setting for defining how long a version has to have been published before pnpm will install it.

A nice countermeasure against accidental installs of short-lived compromised packages before they get taken down. Not a 100% fix, but a great additional step!

Yea, thanks! We are working on it :)

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - Semver During the installation process, package managers run a bunch of semver comparisons. The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm can be made around 33x faster.

The semver library used in npm, yarn and pnpm could be made 33x faster.

Ran into that while wondering why running `npm install` takes so long on the Preact repo.

Another exciting month of SeattleJS talks!

Starting us off today is Evan from GenSX telling us about durable execution for AI workflows. Unlike other durable execution approaches, GenSX uses JSX!

Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem - Rust and JavaScript Plugins Up until recently, supporting JavaScript in Rust based tools has been deemed not worth it. The main concern is the overhead of the de-/serialization cost when sending data back and forth. But there is...

Preact Signals just got a huge performance boost:

Signals rendered as text/props & effects only "pull" as fast as needed for rendering. Since computeds run as-needed, they now only re-run as often as their downstream DOM output can be painted.

H/t to @jovidecroock.com for making this happen.
