@henry Having (almost fully) switched to #NodeJS in 2012, I quickly recognized the danger of relying to _anything_ (#npm included, this one gave me a lot of pain for several times over the years).
Ended up with a monstrous monorepo. Forked (and improved) just 2 other people's repos, one abandoned and one that took months to finally get it right regarding garbage collection, but I had no time to wait.
Thereby I never got to a situation to hate a programming language because of the hype around it, but it surely got me coding a ton of #javascript.
The experience helped me a lot in JS5=>ECMAScript and ECMAScript=>TypeScript switching in the last year or so.
