Javascript and its ecosystem are now more complicated than java's ... without type safety. The problem is the language wasn't designed with all this in mind. Not even talking about the bare bone nodejs std lib which makes any task a chore since most third party modules are not maintained past their first year of existence. What a mess.

- ryanbrunner 10y agoI'm not familiar with Maven, but comparing to other package managers (primarily bundler) - A sane approach to locking that's built in and impossible to forget. - Deterministic installs. - Basically enough stability that "delete your node_modules and npm install" is never a necessary solution to anything (I've had tons of instances where I've had to do this with npm).
