> This may still be true in C & C++ land, and to small extent in the Java world with the Spring libraries. But Node, Python, et al. seem to have zero curation and an explosion of transitive dependencies. That's a great point. I wonder if there is any interest in providing a Boost-esque package bundle for Node or Python, where maintainers adopt a selection of packages and treat their official releases as unstable/bleeding edge releases.
