@alterelefant @bert_hubert @ayo npm-dependent web development always seems quite ass-backwards to me.

Like web browsers have pretty good API compatibility between each others and APIs very rarely break, same thing for NodeJS itself.

One thing that's lacking is the JS standard library, so if you want to target both browsers, NodeJS, … you're definitely going to need wrappers and maybe few libraries. Which okay makes sense, you're targetting different platforms.

But then you have build tools and frameworks that are so API-unstable that keeping up is a challenge.
Which makes no sense and just means that using them undermines what otherwise would be very stable platforms.
