TLDR: Rollup and ES modules give us:
- smaller bundles due to tree-shaking and scope-hoisting, and
- faster runtime perf than CommonJS, by avoiding runtime module resolution

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.
As a maintainer of native node add-on modules I have some questions about when and why NODE_MODULE_VERSION changes:
(@rvagg has anwered these in the comments below)
- does v8 use semver? how do you know when a v8 version breaks ABI compatibilility?
- is there a semantic meaning for v8 version numbers or is it arbitrary?
- who maintains this google doc I found? is it official?
- why is the latest entry from may in the v8 changelog? https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+/master/ChangeLog
- how can you tell when all these future v8 versions will be stable? https://chromium.googlesource.com/v8/v8.git/+refs
- why must a node major version correspond to a specific v8 version? e.g. node v5 uses v8 4.6 and won't upgrade to 4.7
A lot of people mentioned other immutable JS libraries after reading my post. I thought it would be good to make a list of available ones.
There are two types of immutable libraries: simple helpers for copying JavaScript objects, and actual persistent data structure implementations. My post generally analyzed the tradeoffs between both kinds of libraries and everything applies to the below libraries in either category.
Libraries are sorted by github popularity.

How to enable source maps for your browser.
Source mapping is a technique that "maps" your browser inspector's line numbers to the source file. This is useful when working with assets that are compiled from LESS, SASS, Coffeescript and so on. Source maps can also be used with minified assets that would normally have their line numbers removed. If you're curious, here's some more information regarding source maps.
- Open Developer Tools.
- Mac users: View > Developer > Developer Tools.
- Click the Settings cog icon in the upper-right corner of the Developer Tools window.
- Under the Sources section, check the box(es) for the source maps you want to enable.

Here's the history, hope it helps.
I wrote the original version of the npm registry in a day or two on top of CouchDB. I built it quickly and didn't think much about scale.
Isaacs continued to improve and maintain that code. At one point he even wrote up an open standard for generic js package registries for CommonJS but they didn't seem to care (they were too busy arguing about promises).
At the time I wrote the initial code I was employed at CouchOne and we had a small CouchDB hosting platform operated by Jason Smith which is where we ran the registry free of charge. Later on, after CouchOne was aquired by Membase and became Couchbase, it decided to break off the hosting company and give/sell it to Jason Smith, which became IrisCouch.
