Discover packages better with Skypack
A new way to discover JavaScript packages and two major releases, here are the top stories of this week.
Launch: Skypack Discover
Skypack discover is here to solve the discovery problem of JavaScript packages, a better alternative to jumping between npmjs, bundlephobia, Stack Overflow and more.
It’s like Wirecutter or Spotify playlists, but for open source JavaScript.
Release: Node 15
Node 15 features npm 7, experimental QUIC support. This version is based on v8 8.6 adding the following new features:
Promise.any()AggregateErrorString.prototype.replaceAll()- Logical assignment operators
&&=,||=, and??=
Release: React 17
The React 17 release is unusual because it doesn’t add any new developer-facing features. Instead, this release is primarily focused on making it easier to upgrade React itself.
This release focuses a lot on developer experience, enabling gradual upgrades. This version makes it safer to embed a tree managed by one version of React inside a tree managed by a different version of React.
