State of Node.js Core
summary
Node core lays out a concrete LTS schedule with six‑month cadence and 18‑month support windows and V4 reaching ~26% market share then 53% native ES6 support (0.12 was ~17%) while V6 pushes ES6 coverage to ~96%. First‑class ARM builds land, Nan mitigates V8 ABI churn that otherwise breaks ~30% of native modules, a remote memory disclosure forces buffer.from and buffer.alloc APIs, ES modules debate pushes .mjs proposals, and Chakra and DevTools integration exist as working experiments.
