NPM does not make it any easier to glue stuff together, we have had packaging for decades. Just because you can pull in a package does not make it easy to work with the api in a standardized way.
- foota 9y agoTheir point was that npm doesn't make it any easier but it's possible.
- SahAssar 9y agoPlease explain to me how npm makes it possible.
- Chickenosaurus 9y agoI think the argument is Node.js projects are often stitched together from many packages with different APIs and are therefore a good example for stitched together programs that work. The argument isn't very good in my opinion. Combining independent services differs from combining libraries.
