As someone who programs on backend, frontend, and Android apps, I can't agree more. Javascript frameworks and NPM hell is terrible. You rarely have the problems in Go/Kotlin/Java world that are considered normal in the NPM world.
- adevx 5y agoI never understood this npm hell reference people are speaking off. Is this just the drama of updating an outdated inherited project? I've been working with node/npm since the early days and don't consider it worse than what you find in Java, Python or PHP.
- ashishb 5y agoThe latest version of webpack removed polyfill, this broke another dependency, and i had to downgrade the react version to fix that! Nothing like this did I ever see in the go or kotlin world.
- qmmmur 5y agoIf you depend on a specific behaviour why dont you pin your react version?
- ashishb 5y agoI learnt that much later. Apparently the current version of webpack that you get by following the official react project setup is missing certain polyfills!
- zero_shift 5y agoCouldn't you have pinned your dependency and / or installed from a lockfile?
