My only issue with javascript ecosystem, i.e. nodejs, is that when I 'npm install', all of sudden I get hundreds of modules pulled in with a few hundred MB of content, which I feel bloated and who-knows-what-just-pulled-in. A glibc-style standard binary library might be better to maintain and for production use. Making the 'standard library' modularized so I can customize will be even better.
