      Look at what you’re missing!

      Edit: also, is-odd depends on is-number

        These are both made by the same person from this PR (who also made both the package the PR is on, and the is-number package that is being removed as a dep)

        Heaven forbid they make a package is-even-or-odd with both. Wait. Don’t give them ideas. They’ll just make it depend on both.

      This can happen in any project that uses dependencies, javascript or not

        Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

        There’s a reason for these jokes always being about Javascript.

            And let’s not talk about C++…

            Don’t worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.

            Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.

            I don’t think there’s a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I’ve generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.

      I only glossed over it… but this looks like it’s trying to check dynamic typing issues? It’s like a statically typed language with extra steps?

        I don’t think typescript exists because JavaScript wasn’t designed to be statically typed. I think Typescript exists because JavaScript wasn’t really designed, period.

        Must be pretty good, considering literally every time I check in on the JavaScript community it is somehow more on fire than it was last time. I guess I must have a front row seat to all their misfortune. Either that or they’re just incompetent, but it couldn’t be that, could it?
