No need for despair, your new dawn is at hand: There are myriad ways of programming computers without reference to NPM at all! There are whole other languages and ecosystems! some of which have been around for many years now, and look to last at least a few more.
If you really want longevity, see COBOL. If you're looking for quicker fun that's closer to your current sand castles, try PHP and Python.

- niix1 5y agoAh I wish but work uses backend TypeScript and that's also a very popular option nowadays so I don't see myself being able to easily escape that anytime soon.
