Our Commentary ​

This JS Weekly is packed! The npm install script RFC is critical; that security hole has been a concern for ages. Dr. Axel's blog going offline because of AI crawlers is genuinely unsettling. It's a stark reminder of the unintended consequences of these technologies. Bun's Rust rewrite is a big internal change, and Deno 2.8 sounds promising. A new <install> HTML element for PWAs is also a neat idea.
