Yes, it was bizarre to see:
- Python is too big
- Python's standard library is too small
- therefore, you should use JavaScript
It made me wonder if I was hallucinating, so I went and checked... my `node` execurtable is 78MB. Thanks to its robust standard library, my node_modules folder is only 884 MB.
