JavaScript has supported async iterators since ES2018. All modern browser versions handle async iterables and Node.js can do it since version 10.x. Async iterables have a positive aspect and a drawback at the same time: you need to consume them to know the result. That means you can’ …

We’re using a small performance optimization in our code bases: caching computation results in local variables. Saving results in a local variable is borrowed from the memoization technique. Memoizing values improves the performance of function execution by storing the results and reusing them for a function call. This tutorial …

When writing code, you eventually want or need to change existing implementation. Changing existing code can have side effects for the application and you may need to refactor parts of the project which you didn’t plan to touch. Yet, it’s necessary to move forward and sunset old versions …
