I’m still amazed that NPM allowed people to just remove packages from the repo.
I’m still amazed that NPM bent over backwards just to please the extremely sleazy Kik app and willingly screwed over one of their best package contributors.
Oh wait, no I’m not!
NPM is basically hot garbage
And now that it’s owned by Microshaft, it’s a raging dumpster fire that’s apart of the greater landfill fire.
Honestly, between NPM owned by MS and Yarn owned by Facebook, JavaScript straight up has no good package manager option.
It’s really not a great situation with package management in Js land, and having two predatory companies own major tools and package repositories certainly doesn’t help things.
