    • V8 upgraded to V8 8.1
    • Experimental Async Local Storage API
    • Improvements to Streams.
    • Experimental WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) to support future WebAssembly use cases.

Community

Space dedicated to celebrate key people in the Node.js ecosystem

What keeps me motivated to work on Node.js is the community and the technological challenge. Having the opportunity to improve the developer experience for thousands, maybe millions of people, that’s a very unique thing, and I think it is worth a lot.
