> That npm dependency trees are often insane

For my hundreds of repos (Java, Scala, JS, Typescript, Python...), Snyk flags 99% of the CVEs for the JS repos. Shocking how I've only seen a few dozen or so Java based CVEs flagged over the last few years.

Perhaps it's because my NPM based repos have ~10K more dependencies? That and the Java stdlib handling most needs w/ the vanilla lang.
