Future of Node
summary
Data show npm growth is highly predictable package growth and Node is now the largest and fastest-growing ecosystem, but core contribution rates and stable releases drop toward near-zero core contributions and fewer security/bug fixes. A counterexample is levelup, which uses an open open source commit model to give many contributors commit access and shared ownership. Community projects — NodeSchool GitHub org, Node Forward (onboarding, help, mentorship, CI rebuilds, roadmap) and NAN for native addons — are concrete efforts attempting to fix these gaps.
