Echo JS 0.11.0

This is probably more appropriate of a question for stackoverflow.com

I believe Promise.all and Promise.race have been around since ES6/ES2015 or ES2016.

Decent primer on iterables.  As I was reading, was getting ready to make a comment about generators and async generators, but it's noted in the last paragraph.  Look forwar to the next/related article.

Arrays and Objects in JS are not quite 1:1 as the memory structures for lower-level languages.  Arrays are more like enhanced objects, with more indexes.  Objects are also a bit more than just a hash table, it's just he easiest way to think about it.

Yet another state management engine for react... I think there's more state management systems for react than there were new ui frameworks popping out 5-6 years ago.

Okay... while this is kind of correct, I would empatically NOT follow this advice.

First, sha512 is *not* sufficient alone for a hash, there are specific algorithms that will use sha256/512 as an underlying hash with thousands of iterations in order to create an appropriate hash.

Second, the "rounds" for a salt is a total abuse of the term.  The "rounds" in a password hash has to do with the number of cycles to perform on a passphrase hash.

Third, you don't need to convert to a hex string when passing the salt to the hashing algorithm, it can stay an ArrayBuffer/Buffer.

Fourth, the length of the hash should match the bit length of the underlying hashing algorithm. Going longer doesn't strengthen for a passphrase hash, and going shorter weakens the result.

Here's a better example to work from:

Though, you may want to use something other than pbkdf2, the example above was using it because of legal requirements and that the algorithm is supported by node in the box.

Edit, corrected #4 - was thinking of something else.

This is more about using node for shell scripting in *nix environments than JS.

Unfortunately, more than half of legit posts are by brand new accounts.

removed url shortener from description, thanks.

That's fine... was jut putting a comment mentioning as much.
