I was thinking about that in response as well; then I began to wonder. Is it that the quality is actual higher, or that I'm more likely to gravitate towards established, well-tested libraries (of which there are fewer in javascript)?
The more I think about it, the more I think it's the latter. There are tons of crap libraries out there for any language - but the more mature languages/ecosystems naturally tend to have a wider selection of more mature libraries.
- jmspring 12y agoThink about node modules. How often have you done an n install only to have 10+ other libraries brought in. Some are going to be decent, some not. I've found oddities like improper implementations of http digest auth and what not. When libraries are small you can sometimes catch these things easily.
