The Many, Many, Many JavaScript Runtimes of the Last Decade
A meaty article (which took a year to put together) covering the myriad of JavaScript runtimes and engines both past and present, from obvious picks like Node.js to cloud platforms and lesser known ‘honorable mentions’. This is a great summary to round out your JS ecosystem knowledge. - https://buttondown.com/whatever_jamie/archive/the-many-many-many-javascript-runtimes-of-the-last-decade/

UI algorithms: a tiny undo stack
I’ve needed this before - a couple of times. Third time I figured I needed something small, nimble - yet complete. And - at the same time - wondering about how to do it in a very simple manner. I think it worked out great, so let’s dig in. Most UIs will have…
