A big announcement for Nitro
summary
Nitro 2.6 ships with concrete, usable features: a typed task API (DefineTask, runTask, scheduled and single-instance background jobs that abstract platform differences), platform-agnostic websocket support via the cross-ws layer, and a lightweight DB connector DB0 with useDatabase composable. A demo chat runs successfully on a Raspberry Pi showing persistence and realtime behavior. The onjs ecosystem already has 55+ packages, ~150 contributors and millions of monthly downloads; these features are experimental but released now.
