The State of Node.js 2025
summary
Claims concrete adoption numbers and feature status: 30 billion npm downloads last year and spikes like 375 million downloads per month show heavy usage even of out‑of‑support releases (Node 18 still hits ~50M). Recent changes include require‑ESM, TypeScript-out-of-the-box and a V8 change that yields ~7% OpenTelemetry perf gain. Funding for security work halves to ~$150k, explicit resource management lands and Node 24 adds APIs. An application server running PHP 8.4 native add-on demonstrates mixed‑language hosting and the WordPress demo boots successfully.
