New zero-dependency WebSocket library targets multi-runtime era
The classic ws package, built for Node.js 15 years ago, struggles with modern runtimes like Cloudflare Workers, Bun, and Deno. A developer created @rabbx/ws, a zero-dependency alternative that works across all environments. The library aims to eliminate polyfills and native dependency errors for socket connections.

While the ws library remains reliable, this new package highlights the growing fragmentation of JavaScript runtimes and the need for truly portable tools.
