brahma-firelight
www.npmjs.com
A blazing-fast, fire-and-forget orchestrator built with Rust and JavaScript, designed for ultra-low-latency task routing, message triggering, and heavyweight logic execution — all without blocking. A native Rust AddOn for NodeJS, BunJS and DenoJS.. Latest version: 2.0.2, last published: a day ago. Start using brahma-firelight in your project by running `npm i brahma-firelight`. There are no other projects in the npm registry using brahma-firelight.

It’s been a long time since 2023, when Bun.js arrived and disrupted the JavaScript world. During that time, I was working on something unusual—something that encourages all JS developers to write API code that actually runs on top of Rust.

I gave it my best and eventually published this framework on npm. Many people asked for async support, and after countless sleepless nights, I finally achieved it.

Have a look at this framework—still in beta, experimental, and currently working only on Linux, Windows, and ARM T4 on AWS. Brahma-JS is one of my favorite creations, and it has literally edged past uWebSockets.js.

At the same time, I’ve been thinking about the future of Node.js. It has dominated for the past 16 years, going through many ups and downs. I’m truly happy to be a part of this ecosystem and of npm.

    OP certainly has a funny definition of the word dominated.

    green is python

      Except Python’s growth is from data science, not web dev (the subject of OP’s post, and the context in which JS is “dominating”)

      Edit:

        I just stated python’s color in the graph cause it wasn’t in the legend. Nothing more.
