Hello everyone! It has been a while since I last posted a blog and today might be my last of blogging on this platform. As of today, I want to share with my audience that I graduated from my full-stack development BootCamp with Columbia University! I want to cover the newest updates on Node.js because I have become familiar with the software after spending countless hours developing the back end. Node.js is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment designed for developers to create servers, web apps, command-line tools, and scripts.

Version 22 is the current release for October. One of its most significant updates is the support for require() ECMAScript Modules graphs. This improvement allows developers to use the require() function to load ESM graphs. They represent a modern JavaScript module system.

Version 22 also incorporates a built-in WebSocket client that is enabled by default. It simplifies the development of apps that are in need of live data updates.

The newest update to Node.js has incorporated AbortSignal, which optimizes APIs and the testing framework. This leads to faster operation times and aborts asynchronous operations.

Node.js' watch mode command line has become stable thanks to its newest update. It allows developers to restart their apps whenever changes are detected in the watched files and it significantly enhances its development efficiency.

Node.js' newest features help its users accomplish their tasks more efficiently. Implementing these features as standard helps developers ensure their apps are stable and deliver high performance.
