People say this but is it really the case? Look how much NPM has been attacked by malware recently, and all because people are indirectly installing simple colour libraries that are 20 layers deep of dependencies of dependencies. Then you get the fucking stupid stuff like `is-odd`.
- StrangeWill 1y agoLong-time C# Dev here -- yeah I'm still jealous of being able to find more esoteric libraries in Node, Python or PHP -- or just having more options then someone's back-yard half-baked implementation sometimes. On the other hand, I have nearly 20 languages under my belt and have been writing code professionally for 22 years -- I still use C# most of the time for a lot of other reasons, just this is one of the bigger pain points.
