What Hacker News says?
For anyone not in the JS/Node worlds, this is a significant release that people are particularly excited about. It was also delayed somewhat due to wanting to align with V8 which should, however, be totally worth it :-) Other relevant posts digging into new features include http://codingsans.com/blog/node-8 and https://blog.risingstack.com/important-features-fixes-node-j...

HN discussion1. Fees on chains made for transactions are pennies (Google "X transaction fees" where x = solana, polygon, bitcoin lightning, etc.) 2. I'd expect a project trying to create digital money to take a bit more time then a JS framework[1]. Does that seem reasonable? It took React 6 years to "go mainstream" and had the backing of Facebook. It's hard to do consequential things in the real world, it will take time. 3. Why…

HN discussionDocker is mainly an app packaging mechanism of sorts. Just like you would build a jars, wars or rpms, etc. you create docker images for your applications. The advantage you get is that you can package all your dependencies in the container thereby making your application independent and using the tools provided by docker in combination with swarm, compose, etc. it makes deployment of your apps and scaling easier.

HN discussionWould you mind elaborating? React[1][2], Angluar[3], and jQuery[4] all started as personal projects to abstract architecture for use by other people. These things started in an age of JavaScript years before TypeScript was imagined when writing large expansive architectures in JavaScript was a real risk. Full stack was not a thing yet and IE was still very real. However, most developers at the time were not writing…

HN discussionYou have a number of ways of keeping a handle on async code now. 1. Native ES6 promises will cover most of your basic needs. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referen... . In fact, unless you have very specific needs not covered by native promises, you shouldn't drop a third party library into your project. 2. For more advanced operations on promises, use Bluebird.

HN discussionI think the post needs a clarification in that ECMAScript is not a language and has nothing to do with the name JavaScript. ECMA International defines a standard called ECMAScript that implementations such as JavaScript, ActionScript3 (Adobe), TypeScript and probably some more have adopted. https://blog.risingstack.com/history-of-javascript-on-a-time...
