Deno is Joining Cloudflare (But…) - Maybe David Bushell saw the writing on the wall, as the Deno team isn't joining Cloudflare to keep working on Deno, but to fold celld into workerd so Durable Objects can be self-hosted (more on that here). The Deno runtime will get a final year of official fixes, Deno Deploy closes in six months, and JSR moves to Cloudflare's infrastructure.

Ryan Dahl

💡 On Hacker News, Ryan Dahl noted that Deno "has been sucked into the gravity well of Node compatibility" before asking: "Why reimplement Node? It works." But what happens to the JavaScript™ trademark case, I wonder…?

CodeAF: #1 of Ten Coding Harnesses on DeepSWE - Ten coding harnesses ran the same open model on 113 real GitHub issues. CodeAF solved the most and paid the least per solved issue: 3.4x less than Claude Code, 4.8x less than OpenCode. A new open-source coding harness built for open models.

Bun 1.4.3 Adds bun check, a Built-In TypeScript Type Checker - bun check is a port of TypeScript 7's checker that reads your tsconfig.json, reports the same errors as tsc and, Jarred claims, runs 3-6x faster. It plugs into bun run/test/build too. Idle server processes now use far less CPU, and a JavaScriptCore upgrade picks up numerous perf gains.

IN BRIEF:

• AWS has launched Lambda Web Functions, which run an ordinary port-listening Node server (Express, Hono, Fastify, etc.) on Lambda with no handler rewrite, billing for active CPU time and separately for memory.

• 📊 The 2026 Stack Overflow Developer Survey results are out (30,903 people took part) with JavaScript the #1 language for the 12th year in a row (and TypeScript at #6).

• 🔒 Despite this week's fresh stir, no malicious Zod release reached npm. Malicious commits pushed to its repo in September were reverted the same day, as Colin McDonnell explains.

• 🔒 An out-of-band Next.js security release is due tomorrow.

RELEASES:

• Last second addition: TanStack Start 1.0 has just dropped. Big news for full-stack React and Solid fans! :-)

• 🎉 Partytown 1.0 - A popular way to relocate third-party scripts to run in a Web Worker rather than on the main thread has left beta after five years in development.

• Marionette 5.0 - Six years on, the Backbone-era framework returns with a core free of Backbone, jQuery and Underscore… and they explain why!

• Bootstrap 6 Alpha - An early look at Bootstrap's first major release since 2021, leaning on modern CSS and making its JavaScript plugins ESM-only.

• Express 5.3.0 - A maintenance release worth upgrading to, as patched qs, proxy-addr and body-parser dependencies close five CVEs.

📊 WebSocket Servers in JavaScript: Node.js, Bun, and Deno - In 2023, Daniel found Bun much faster than Node at relaying WebSocket messages, but there was a bug in his Bun server. This new attempt uses a C client/relay as a baseline, and Node 26 now gets close to C latency, ahead of Bun and Deno.

tinyjs: Build JavaScript Desktop Apps in <10MB - I built an app with this and was impressed. You get a txiki.js-powered backend with full system access (including FFI!), native webview rendering, and tiny macOS, Linux, and Windows builds. It even makes it easy to sign/notarize the final app.

Tarwin Stroh-Spijer

There are lots of great options in this space though:

• Electrobun offers richer multi-window and GPU features, at the cost of a larger TypeScript runtime - though it can instead use Zig, Rust, Go, or Odin for a tiny native main process.

• Perry is a TypeScript to native AOT compiler whose primary UI model renders AppKit, Win32 and GTK4 widgets for a more conventionally native feel.

• Electron and the experimental Deno Desktop are powerful, but their executables typically run several times larger.

• Neutralinojs apps can be even smaller than tinyjs's, but you lose the general-purpose JavaScript privileged backend by design.
