   @jgillich @nyquildotorg @jalefkowit I’d argue that Cargo more closely resembles gems + bundler, which are more or less contemporaneous with npm, and are also better than npm.

   I’m fun at parties too.

     @nyquildotorg @jalefkowit npm is fine. Actually, when it came out, it revolutionised dependency management. Cargo, widely regarded as one of the best dependency managers, took a lot of inspiration from npm.

     Remember that JS lacks a proper standard library and developers are forced to rely on third-party libraries. Correct me if I'm wrong but statements such as yours tend to come from people who've never even worked with JS. npm has problems, sure, but so does everything.

     @jalefkowit every aspect of npm was a mistake and my unpopular opinion is that anyone who uses it should be ashamed. (I'm fun at parties.)

     @jalefkowit this made me laugh so much because it was such a an obvious result of the plan to disallow performative unpublishing. Now nobody can unpublish their packages, lol
