It took them 11 years to add one feature which was already available via express-async-handler package or with 10 lines of custom async wrapper.

Should I use it now or wait until version 6?

The native promise support in Express.js 5 is a game-changer. It simplifies asynchronous operations and makes code more readable. The body parser changes are also a welcome addition, enhancing security and performance. Express.js 5 seems like a significant upgrade that will streamline web development.

Hey, Maximilian brother, where did you stay? How did you get sick? We look forward to seeing your travel videos 😁

[shardulkul]

Thanks for the insightful video. Just one question. Which screen annotation tool do you use?

I sense Hono.js inspiration in this release

Hi Max, can you add a new Node.js or backend JS specific course to udemy? I recently finished your older node.js course and was wondering what your new opinions on node are. Thank you.

It sounds as if they have a new team who are going to maintain it. Let's hope that is the case and features start coming. Other than being a great learning tool for Node.js apis, there are better lightweight options out there like Fastify and Hono that offer more.

Finally, you're back! Hopefully working on a new course as well soon... 😅 hoping to get the holiday cooking video this year as well 🙏

Big statement that it hasn't needed to change in so long!

[omarfarquek]

I think express should update more by breaking Changes such as django djngo drf has too many building support but in this express is backdated write more code to handle scalable and clean code to maintain so express should update and bring more built in support to make rest api more simple and efficient

[MinhazurSarker]

I think they don't update it because many corporate comoanies use it and they need stability.

I'm wating for new nodejs course with express5 😅

Guys - do yourself a favor - learn Nest.js and never go back to other FWs... (I know that Nest uses Express adapter (or Fastify)) - but really, learn Nest.js a forget the rest.

Hello, which software does Max use to highlight text in the videos ? Like the way he draws pink rectangles and arrows to emphasis on something.

[JeanBaptisteChabi]

Please, make a full Fastify course, I'm one of your students on Udemy

[valikonen]

so glad i got out of this toxic industry. i cant believe how much of my time and life during my best years i wasted having to learn entirely new stuff all the time, never having the time to really get great at anything just to keep up with the whims of some other developers. terrible, awful rat race far worse than almost every other career. so i made a lot of money while i was doing it. so what? would i trade my youth for money now, fuck no.

just my two cents

[krishna-kant]

That developer sign in background does not look professional 😀
