@darius how many years until the JavaScript standard library is usable enough to not require a million npm packages installed?
@meena I think it's already there and we just have some very bad habits ingrained (and lots of very common dependencies don't use the new JS syntax themselves, so then THEY install those dependencies even if you don't)
@darius i think I'm mostly thinking of mutable by default (array) functions which seems like a bad thing in… most languages
