## Technology trends

| 2021 | 2022 | Change |
|--- |--- |--- |
| TypeScript / Types | ESM support | new |
| Serverless | Types in JavaScript (TaC or TS) / Types / Server-Side TypeScript | -1 |
| Web Assembly | Serverless / Seemless hosting of Node.js server. Support latest version serverless hosting by major cloud providers / Node.js as a cloud function runtime / Cloud deployment | -1 |
| Transaction tracing (ex. Open Telemetry) / Tracing | Small footprint JavaScript runtimes | new |
| Single Binary | Observability (Otel, prometheus, etc.) | -1 |
| CI/CD Automation | Developers-first DX | new |
| Permissions / Policies | WinterCG | +9 (ecosystem ?) |
| GraphQL / gRPC | http 3 | new |
| Prometheus style metrics | WASM | -6 |
| Secure Software bill of material | Supply chain security | = |
| Pre-compilation | eBPF | new |
| Cryptocurrency | Multi-pages Apps (MPAs) / Full-stack JavaScript | new |
| IoT | Edge / Can we lift something from workerd? Are there any approches or features? | new |
| Zero knowledge | GraphQL / gRPC | -5 |
| Object capability (OCAP) | Kubernetes / Containerization | new |
| Ecosystem Comparability & Maintenance | | |

> Types / TS need to be a core subject (linked to the new tc39 type proposal - also PR and discussion about linking TS)

> Serverless still a key priority (WinterCG group ?)

> Security still on the list, how to improve what should we change ? (ecosystem wide maybe)

> Some stuff are in progress: `binary` and `diagnostic (tracing, prometheus metrics?)`

## Node.js features

| 2021 | 2022 | Change |
|--- |--- |--- |
| Modern HTTP request tooling (undici) | Docs: production ready recommendations / Rustdoc but make it Node.js / Documentation (better documentation for new people) / Docs best practice for module authors / Docs: official tutorials | +1 |
| Documentation | Stable fetch() | new |
| ESM | Undici / undici in core | -2 |
| Up to date ES version JavaScript support | ESM import mocking | -1 |
| Diagnostic tools (log, debugging etc.) | Hot reload / dev server | new |
| Quic | More complet ESM/CJS interop | -2 |
| Worker Thread support | More assertion for test runners / | new |
| fs hooks | python -m SimpleHTTPServer <PORT> equivalent | new |
| Argument Parser | Better support embedding Node.js into other projects (related to build systems support) | new |
| Native bundling support (for e.g., to allow for TypeScript files as entry points) | Improving performance of Web APIm WHATWG streams specifically | new |
| FIPs support | Expanded use of diagnostic channel | -6 |
| N-API | WASM / WASI status | new |
| Better installers / binary management | TypeScript integration / TypeScript support | new |
| AOT (to v8 snapshot maybe?) | llhttp and its dependency llparse is mostly a blackbox | new |
| Current OpenSSL support | Disk backed blob object | new |
| Iteration on policies and/or exposing sandoboxing primitives to scripts | Module quality assessment tool: (eg. check if you have dual exports) | new |
| Alternative SSL support | FetchEvent and familly (CloudFlare workers-like server) | new |
| | logger | new |
| | build in bundler and transpiler | new |

> Documentation is a key point to adress (next-10 initiative on the way)

> ESM seems crucial also (function, doc, recommandation, interop...)

> Diagnostic seems to be a key concept to improve

> Some functionnalityes landed: `Fetch` & `undici` & `argument parser` & `openssl`
