I didn't say it was universal. OpenSSL and Chromium are outside the scope of "CDNs for external JavaScript libraries".
(I actually included the appropriate hedging to clarify that my comments are scope-locked to that topic and to prevent digressions like this, but I edited it out because it made the comment too hard to read. Goes to show...)
- jefftk 6y agoReading your "the cost of forking a third-party library and maintaining it in-house solely for your own use is no higher than the cost of relying on the third-party's unforked version" I didn't realize at all that you were trying to only talk about JavaScript that runs client side. I think your deleted clarification would have been helpful!
- pwdisswordfish4 6y ago> I didn't realize at all that you were trying to only talk about JavaScript that runs client side Well, not just client-side JS; server-side, too, or anywhere that NPM is used, but even more than that: e.g. other package managers that were influenced by or work similarly to NPM and encourage a similar package-driven development style, e.g. Rust's crates.io or the Go community's comfortability with importing by URL. It applies for many of those cases, too, it just wasn't the focus of my comment.
