I'm not a huge NodeJS developer, but have done enough (and other development) to think this is not a good solution to the packaging/dependency problem.
My experience with npm issues were usually that some dependency had its own build process.
There are so many inconsistencies in how JS libraries are packaged and downloaded. I think scripting in general leaves the whole dependency thing out in the wind.
Now. If we could turn packages into testable objects, that would be cool.
- thecrazyone 8y agoWell, packages are testable. You can test the api of a package today. Having people write said tests is the tough part. Did you mean to say something else?
- ChicagoDave 8y agoI meant more like a binary compiled object. So many libraries have a highly varied set of folders and files. It’s just messy.
