>It's interesting to me that everyone uses that isArrayish module example as though it represented the downfall of civilization when to me, yes maybe it represents the downfall of civilization a little bit, but it also represents the strength of npm. Absolutely anyone can create code, put it online and then have others use it fast. Of course this means you do end up with a lot of nonsense, but a lot of brilliance too.

How is JS/NPM in that sense better than Go, a language with a strong standard library, with a solid developer community around it and where packages are as easy as pushing to a git server?

Or how does it improve over similar, more traditional package management stories like Python/pip?
