It can be a problem in any language or package manager but in my Golang project, I have a single dependency outside of the standard library, in my Javascript project I conservatively have 200+ (if I consider all the packages installed by my primary dependencies). The surface area is just that much bigger and the packages change so frequently.
- cyberpunk 5y agoSo you recon a better (bigger?) node stdlib would solve a lot of this?
- ocdtrekkie 5y agoProbably, yes. I'd say most mature tech stacks provide most of what you are likely to need first party. .NET is an incredible ecosystem for this: Nearly everything the standard developer needs is available from Microsoft, most common third party packages you might want to pull in were authored by an enterprise company with support available, and if you're pulling in something by an individual, it's probably pretty niche.
