Node.js: Where are we now, where are we going?
summary
Node 10 arrives with concrete changes: V8 6.4 and the newer debugger protocol, a fleshed-out HTTP/2 support API, and a working-but-experimental ES Modules interop path that forces async loading differences. Low-level additions include N-API for native addons, async_hooks for tracing, an FS promises module and iterator support, buffer constructor deprecation, ongoing streams refactors, a worker threads proposal and OpenSSL 1.1 migration work.
