Well at least you don't have to worry about package management, all the dependencies are built by the organization either from scratch or with vendored code.

Re: JavaScript, you should take a look at the code in repo, it's excellent. There is a such thing as great Javascript code and bcoin/hsd are prime examples.

Many steps of indirection away we find things like this include.

https://github.com/juliangruber/isarray/blob/master/index.js

    module.exports = Array.isArray || function (arr) {
      return toString.call(arr) == '[object Array]';
    };

Javascript is an absolute joke of a language.

I don't really see the problem. On any remotely modern version of Node that's just a noop. On ancient versions of Node its a very useful polyfill.

For real, it can't even work with regular expressions decently.

Better the cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory you know than the left-pad you don't.
