Introducing Bare, a small and modular JavaScript runtime https://github.com/holepunchto/bare

Hello! It’s a pleasure to join this community, since I discovered it, this cozy place is one of my favorite corners on the web, for sure.

I am sharing a project that I am modestly helping with, all credits should go to https://github.com/kasperisager and https://github.com/mafintosh.

To give a big picture of the project I’d point:

  • In the early days of NodeJS, there were tons of discussions about what should be implemented on core or not, Bare embraces the minimal core philosophy, for instance, HTTP modules are kept out from the core.
  • Multiple choice for JavaScript engine, there’s official support for V8, JavaScriptCore, QuickJS and JerryScript.
  • Wide platform/arch support, about that Bare reminds me of Gentoo 😅.
  • It has portability to NodeJS built-in modules, but it’s not meant to have 100% coverage.
  • Maybe I am not the right person to say it but the code readability is 👍, it’s a fun project to hack on and contribute.

Keeping the LHC colliding: Providing Extended Lifecycle support for EL7 (by moving to Debian) https://indico.cern.ch/event/1477299/contributions/6363918/attachments/3044399/5378883/20250403-HEPiX-cern-els7.pdf

The title is slightly editorialized to unbury the lede (i.e., EL7 is EOL, EL9 is hard to support on older hardware, thus CERN is migrating FECs to Debian for ELTS).
