What's New in Node.js Core?
summary
Node.js 10 moves into LTS with three years of support and concrete changes: http/2 stable for production use, N‑API stable so native C++ add‑ons no longer need recompilation across Node versions, and an upgraded v8 6.8 adding async iterators, Promise.prototype.finally, named RegExp capture groups, BigInt, WebAssembly streaming and general performance gains. npm is updated to 6.4 bringing npx and npm audit. Experimental features include worker threads, top‑level await in the REPL with a flag, fs promises and ES modules behind --experimental-modules (.mjs only).
