Web APIs in Node.js Core: Past, Present, and Future | JSConf EU 2019

Web APIs developed and standardized by the browsers have been
serving client-side JavaScript applications with a wide selection
of features out of the box, while Node.js have been developing
another set of APIs that are today the de-facto standards for
server-side JavaScript runtimes. There is now a conscious effort to
bring the two worlds closer together, in particular by introducing
more Web APIs into Node.js core, but it’s not an easy ride - not
every Web API, designed for the browsers, makes sense for Node.js.
In this talk, we are going to take a look at the story of Web APIs
in Node.js core - what Node.js have implemented, what are being
discussed, what are blocking more APIs from being implemented, and
what we can do to improve the developer experience of the
JavaScript ecosystem.
