The same could be said for your post. When people ask why commenting on message boards is terrible, show them this.

If you don't want to write modules this way, don't. Nothing about javascript requires that you even read articles about modules that you don't want to use. Or read articles and then follow up by posting on message boards about articles about modules you aren't going to use.

Bang some code out instead. Your opinion of javascript is about as valuable as the opinion of the person who wrote the modules.



When every major Node package depends on this, starting with Babel, then it actually does becomes something thats required.

There's no such thing as "don't use it if you don't like it!" in this case.

Javascript is a completely broken, shameful system that rightfully deserves all the scorn it's gotten. It really is the worst.

(note that i actually write Python & VanillaJS, and avoid Node packages entirely for now.)
