Programming: Node.js, Curl Development and Python Leftovers

Node.js version 12 is now out: Let's pop the hood and see what's inside this JS runtime
Node.js, the popular JavaScript runtime that relies on the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine, hit version 12 on Tuesday, bringing with a handful of potentially useful features and capabilities.
Per the project's release schedule, in which even numbered releases get designated for Long-Term Support – to give companies technical stability over a predictable period of time – v12 is scheduled to become an LTS release in October 2019.
Node.js 12 inherits the improvements made to the Chrome V8 engine in March, now at v7.4, which mostly have to do with execution speed and reduced memory overhead.
In an email to The Register, Myles Borins, Node.js technical steering committee chairman, pointed out the most significant improvements. V8 v7.4 brings with it async stack traces, which provide more extensive debugging information for Node developers without additional V8 overhead. Node.js 12 also adds TLS 1.3 support, which is more secure than its predecessor.
