JavaScript does not provide namespaces by default which allows this. Python is built upon namespaces and cycles in dependencies, either viewed as graph theory or kSAT introduce that fun NP-complete problem of version hell. Using `need` in Javascript maintains the directed acyclic graph structure, but if you get fancy you will run into the same problems with circular depends in Python. Karp's 21 and/or SAT will catch up with you at some point if you don't respect the constraints that make the problem tractable. Note I am not saying I prefer or like pythons choices...but that they had to make one.
