🤟 👀 The faster Lambda runtime - NodeJS or LLRT? We benchmarked.

No clue what it means, or what it does.
I felt this way when I saw it for the first time.
But you don’t have to feel the same way I did.

I’ve tested, benchmarked and compiled all the details which will help you make the best use of AWS LLRT.

❓ CHALLENGE

function Animal(){ 
  this.type = "animal"
}
   
function Dog(){ 
  this.name = "dog"
}
 
Dog.prototype = new Animal()
 
var PavlovPet = new Dog(); 
 
console.log(PavlovPet.__proto__ === Dog.prototype)
console.log(Dog.prototype.__proto__ === Animal.prototype)

🤔 f(x) is a fantastic terminal-based JSON viewer app (written in Go, but it can integrate with JS functions) – its latest version supports YAML too.

❓ CHALLENGE

console.log("5" + 3);
console.log("5" - 3);

🤟 Runtime Compatibility Across JavaScript Runtimes

Several developers have come together to build this convenient way to visualize the compatibility of different Web APIs and JavaScript features across the ever increasing number of different runtimes (e.g. Bun, Deno, Node, LLRT..)

TOM LIENARD ET AL.

✅ The item above reminds me of node.green, a visualization of JS feature support across versions of Node / V8, though it is nearly entirely green/Yes these days!

CHALLENGE ❓

let arr = [1, 2, 3];

function modifyArray(array) {
  array.push(4);
}

modifyArray(arr.splice(1));
console.log(arr);
