It has been 164 issues of my weekly JavaScript newsletter already. And this little article is becoming some sort of a tradition. I did one like this in 2017 and in 2018, so this is the third one.

Here I simply list the authors that I think are very good at writing about JavaScript. They are all strong personalities, achievers and what's the most important JavaScript community influencers.

Feel free to put everyone on this list into your favorite RSS reader without a second thought. You just can't regret it.

For every author, I provide a short overview and a small list of greatest hits. Enjoy!
