Compared to C/C++ tooling and package managers, npm is like taking a bazooka to a knife fight.
- wycats 10y agoIs npm the bazooka or C++? As someone who's worked with C/C++ (and its hilarious explosion of tooling -- half-a-dozen at Google alone), maven, bundler and Cargo, I think it's just not accurate to say that the npm ecosystem has a particularly high level of complexity.
- odbol_ 10y agonpm is the bazooka. Covers a lot more area with a single tool, but sometimes dangerous if you use it wrong. C/C++ tooling is a plastic butterknife you get with airplane food.
