Ryan Dahl on 'JavaScript Containers' â Ryan, originally known for Node and now Deno, thinks about JavaScript as being a universal scripting language and how the JS sandbox acts as a sort of high level version of the traditional Linux container and will only become more important in the next few years.

Why I Donât Miss React â Not a call to drop React, a declaration of it being âdeadâ, or that all frameworks are useless, but the author went from using React every day to not using it at all, and had a more pleasant time than he was expecting. Jack Franklin |
But.. it's not all bad news for React, Anthony Trama and his team loved Ember but moved to React and they're even happier for it. |
IN BRIEF: TodoMVC is a long standing project showing how a ToDo app can be built in numerous frameworks. But what about no framework? Marc Grabanski shows us TodoMVC in vanilla JS in 2022. I'm seeing a lot of library and tool releases explicitly dropping Node 12 support in their latest versions, so if you're still using Node 12 anywhere, upgrade ASAP (or, at least, take a lot of care when updating dependencies). Node 18.1.0 has been released and includes a new test running feature on the CLI: node --test (Be sure to see Node Weekly for more on Node.) RELEASES: pnpm 7.0 â Efficiency-focused npm alternative. Mocha 10.0 â JS test framework. ShareDB 3.0 â OT-based realtime JSON database. Cucumber.js 8.2 â BDD / plain language testing. npm 8.9.0 |

If you prefer playing to reading, though, the end result is here. Connor Clark |
How To Build a Modal Dialog as a Web Component â âWrite once and run everywhere, so to speak, or at least that was my lofty aspiration. Good news. It is indeed possible to build a modal with rich interaction that only requires authoring HTML to use.â Nathan Smith |

JSPyBridge 1.0: A Bridge Between Node and Python â A work in progress but offers the ability to go either way - run Python from Node, or run Node from Python âwith a native feel.â âUnlike other bridges, you may notice youâre not just writing Python code in JavaScript, or vice-versa. You can operate on objects on the other side of the bridge as if the objects existed on your side.â extremeheat |
Pyscript: Run Python in Your HTML â A framework for creating Python apps in the browser by way of HTML. You get bi-directional communication with JavaScript, too. Unsurprisingly, WebAssembly is what does the heavy lifting and makes this all possible. More background here. Anaconda Inc. | |
