    This can happen in any project that uses dependencies, javascript or not

      Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

      There’s a reason for these jokes always being about Javascript.

          And let’s not talk about C++…

          Don’t worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.

          Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.

          I don’t think there’s a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I’ve generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.
