Have them though?

On the projects I am involved, they could even not exist, only node LTS releases matter, and the most recent projects are still node 20.

As a quick aside, “them” is an object pronoun, not a subject pronoun. The correct word you needed is “they”.

You couldn’t phrase your original question as a statement “Them have though.” That’s often a quick test for valid English grammar. With the correct pronoun, it makes more sense: “They have though.”

As another example, take this sentence: “Have you seen them though?”

“You” is the subject of that sentence, and “them” is the object.

Them is fine.

It's short for "Have them [Node bozos improved it], though?"

Or, equally likely it, refers to deno and bun ("deno and bun has really made Node focus and improve", "Have them (deno and bun) really made Node focus and improve, though?")

Your expanded version is also incorrect.

It's a common idiom used in slang and "urban" dialects for decades...

(Also the expansion was meant as a joke in case it went woooosh - I don't mind-read to know what the OP meant)

That is nonstandard English, at best. It's found in some uncommon dialects.

Without the expansion I don't know of any native English speaker who would say it.

22 is LTS. The future is now.

All even versions are LTS btw, maybe what you mean is that version 22 entered in maintenance mode (hence stable) and new features will not be added.

Sure, who is going to budget project upgrade effort of ensuring all dependencies work equally as well?

There is a reason why so many Java, Python, .NET/C#, C, C++,.. projects are stuck several versions behind.

No one said developing software wasn't going to be work.

Work isn't free beer in most places.
