        Isn't the usual approach to just include every single one of them anyway?

          The sad part is that so few npm packages are really necessary…

            No. You just include one or two. Those will include all the others, not you.

              I mean, it was built to help put JavaScript where it doesn't belong, so expectations of elegance and cleanness should be limited.

                It's great when you find the perfect package but then see the last update was four years ago.

                  If the package isn’t tree shakeable, I try not to use it.

                    …and Python, Java, and GoLang.

                    At least with Java, many of the cornerstone packages have a corporate sponsor maintaining them.

                      I don't know about the other languages but most widely used JavaScript packages also have corporate backing

                          Perl. CPAN has been around for a long time and has some packages in it that are older than other languages' entire repositories, I swear.
