How is that proof? You're again pointing to a design flaw in NPM: that authors can easily delete packages without warning.
If you yank a package with cargo, it doesn't break people's builds who already depend on that package, it just makes it harder to add new dependencies on the package.
- austincheney 6y agoBlaming NPM for that problem is not a cure. Your users don’t care about the sad tired pleadings of a developer about some distant information system in the cloud. All the users care about is that your software was unavailable. That is a security failure. Again, developers don’t care because they don’t own the consequences of such monumental failures, which is why they will happily and frequently repeat this deliberate mistake until they are terminated.
