Week 39 - 2022

The weeknote for 9/26 - 10/2.

OSS

Cloudflare finally open sourced workerd project. It is the core component of Cloudflare Workers. There are significant differences from Node or Deno. For example the entrypoint is Cap'n Proto settings file instead of a script.

It states that the its purpose is being the core module of Cloudflare Workers, and not being a general purpose JavaScript runtime. So in my view this isn't a direct competitor to Node, Deno, or Bun in my view.

Implemented --allow-sys permission flag to Deno in https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/16028

This is the 8th permission flag. Deno added 7th permission flag (was --allow-plugin, then it became --allow-ffi) 3 years ago. It was the first time to add a new flag in 3 years.

This work was necessary for stabilizing APIs such as Deno.hostname. Those stabilizations are required for supporting some of npm modules without --unstable flag.
Wrote an article about how to receive file upload in Deno in Qiita https://qiita.com/kt3k/items/6461a59eef0f8ff18d44

It was suprising to me that the parsing is all done in Web Platform APIs.
Bought the poster from the merch shop.

Iyo-chan and I went to Monja lunch on Saturday together. It was very delicious.
