I'm more unnerved by how few maintainers so many critical/core open source projects/libraries have, whether in web or otherwise. However high our project or company's bus factor gets, it's concerning to realise that the framework or critical library underlying has a bus factor close to one. We can certainly adopt it, but that's folding in a lot of new complexity. o_O This applies irrespective of the language, incidentally - it's often true in Java/Python/Scala even as in JavaScript/npm, as much as people like to bash on the latter.
