Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

This article advocates for a modern JavaScript server API based on the Request/Response model, contrasting it with Node.js's traditional approach. The new API avoids socket binding, which simplifies testing by allowing server functions to be tested directly with simple object inputs and outputs. Benchmark results show the Request/Response API is substantially faster.
