- cxr 5y agoThat's a bonus. Node and NPM parted ways with idiomatic JS a long time ago. Most packages in the Node ecosystem are pretty much, "What if a bunch of people who clearly hate JS nonetheless decided to spend most of their time and energy inside files ending in .js (or .ts)?" So to the extent that "idiomatic ways of doing things" really means "idiomatic wrt the Node ecosystem" and not "idiomatic to JS as it was meant to be written", that sounds like a win. <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24500593 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24500593>
