Node v18.3.0 (current): util.parseArgs() and more
nodejs.org
@bengl,
@nodejs
The highlight of this release is the new function util.parseArgs():
import { parseArgs } from 'node:util';
const args = ['-f', '--bar', 'b'];
const options = {
foo: {
type: 'boolean',
short: 'f'
},
bar: {
type: 'string'
}
};
const {
values,
positionals
} = parseArgs({ args, options });
console.log(values, positionals);
// Prints: [Object: null prototype] { foo: true, bar: 'b' } []

WebAssembly in the JavaScript ecosystem [31-minute video]

@n_moore,
@astrodotbuild
“JavaScript developers might be surprised to learn how many of their dependencies already leverage Web Assembly (Wasm) behind the scenes. In this talk, we’ll explore notable uses of Wasm in the JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems and discuss the benefits of hybrid Wasm/JS tooling as opposed to fully native or fully JS solutions.”
