The State of Node.js Core
summary
Node.js core reports more than 4,000 pull requests merged this year (about 90 PRs/week), with over 2,000 open issues and roughly 2,400+ unit tests; C++ coverage approaches 96%. Node 10 is LTS, Node 11 is available but not for production, and Node 12 targets April 23. HTTP/2 is stable, worker threads run under an experimental flag, N-API is stable for native modules, tracing via trace_event and the inspector improves diagnostics, and a CPU profiler plus Linux perf integration are active.
