What is it with web project in particular writing "OSX"? Even the C port, linked from the JS repo, writes correctly "macOS". How can web projects be taken seriously when they won't even take the platforms they supposedly support seriously?
I'm not generalizing just because. The overwhelming majority of "npm projects" I visit write "OSX".

That's a pretty extreme reaction to someone not capitalizing the name correctly. Don't forget that they changed the name in the last few years, and not everyone is in the Apple orbit enough to absorb all of those shifts in branding.
- losvedir 8y agoBecause it was OS X for like 15 years and only just changed to "macOS".
- LeoNatan25 8y agoIt has been three and a half years. Hardly “just”.
- tobr 8y agoIt’s such a stupid thing to even debate or bring up in the first place. But you are also wrong, the first “macOS” was released 2.5, not 3.5 years ago.
- throwmeback 8y agoIs this really necessary?
