- naasking 11mo agoSure, with quality libraries like "is-even", who can deny the supremacy of the JS ecosystem? https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-even https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-even
- 8cvor6j844qw_d6 11mo agoWow thanks, a perfect package, just what I was looking for. I needed something to determine is even values.
- smt88 11mo agoAs someone who has written multiple Node and C# backends, Node isn't even close to the ecosystem quality. It's not in the same solar system. Npm has tons of libraries, but they're mostly abandoned. Many barely worked in the first place. And if they're even a little out of date, there's a decent chance they're missing TypeScript types or they won't work with your module system. It's a nightmare. Struggling with missing or broken dependencies is what made me swear off Node backends permanently.
- ozim 11mo agoWell yeah I like how they boast numbers of libraries and numbers of downloads but most is crap.
