This week, there are many interesting posts, including Vanilla JS Reactivity, Array Grouping methods, Swup, the NodeJS mascot, Bun Yarn, and Svelte 5.
Fantastic long-read! Review of different PubSub, Observer and other patterns from Rx.js, Solid, and more.

Very controversial and solid Friday’s long read. Take with caution.
I've been very hard on Bun in this post, not because it sucks, but because it's almost good. And people will be excited to try it out and not realize all the downsides. Again, just like with Yarn, I was pretty hyped for Bun too. But I've since tempered my excitement and looked at it from a practical, and historical, standpoint.

Quite an interesting overview of the changes in Svelte.
The magic of Svelte isn't ‘let count = 0’, it's ‘count += 1’

That website is very noticeable. I mean, hold on to your chair when you browse it.
Also, the library itself looks interesting with its API.
