> If you stick to server side javascript using node and npm, it all works pretty well. Rose colored glasses if you ask me. The difference is it seems you use Node often (daily?) and have rationalized the pain. Same goes for everyone defending Python (which I’m sorta in that camp, full disclosure), they are just used to the worts and have muscle memory for how to work around them just like you seem to be able to do with Node.

> Rose colored glasses if you ask me. The difference is it seems you use Node often (daily?) and have rationalized the pain. It’s not just that. Node can also handle arbitrary dependency graphs, including transitive dependency conflicts, sibling dependencies and dev dependencies. And node doesn’t need symlink hacks to find locally installed dependencies. Node packages have also been expected to maintain semver compatibility from inception. They’re usually pretty good about it. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty nice.
