Attackers Are Hunting High-Impact Node.js Maintainers in a Coordinated Social Engineering Campaign
Multiple high-impact npm maintainers confirm they have been targeted in the same social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

@stdlib/assert-is-float32array: test if a value is a Float32Array.This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.

The is-typedarray package provides a function to check if a value is a typed array, including Float64Array. It is more general than @stdlib/assert-is-float64array as it can check for various types of typed arrays, not just Float64Array.
The typedarray-to-buffer package is used to convert a typed array to a Buffer. While it does not directly check if a value is a Float64Array, it is often used in conjunction with type-checking packages to handle typed arrays in Node.js.
The arraybuffer-to-buffer package converts ArrayBuffer instances to Buffer instances. Similar to typedarray-to-buffer, it is used in scenarios where handling and validating typed arrays is necessary.
