Ha, tried noodling around a Node project that was only written in the last 12 months and trying to build it resulted in a ton of deprecation warnings, security flags (some serious) and "you should no longer be using f00b4r, migrate to l33tf4rt instead". Plus despite being a supposedly simple main.js with like 3 imports it pulls in a zillion dependencies (in which these problems exist). Who can possibly work in this dumpster fire of a dev environment? I'm noping right out
@sinbad It is such a shame. Node itself is really nice for small projects, but you have to steer clear of the "ecosystem", and that makes it a lot less useful than it could be.
@NohatCoder everything else I've looked at was so over-engineered, this being a nice 1-file source project I thought it might be doable but this whole system is just cursed
