Foundations of Node.js
summary
Focuses on what actually lives in Node core and why: reasoning about nextTick vs setImmediate and how a single-line change can reorder events and break consumers, the choice to ship a default HTTP implementation in core rather than trusting every module, and the tension between rapid iteration and upgrade/compatibility guarantees. Contains concrete examples of API tradeoffs, mentions vm versus contextify, and explains what must be communicated before changing event semantics.
