It's hardly fair to go to a thread on an embedded JavaScript implementation to criticize JavaScript by focusing on the JavaScript ecosystem. It's up to you to decide which and how you use a third-party package. If you adopt a dependency that's so bloated that it drags in half of NPM's repository them the responsibility of your personal choices lies solely on you and on you alone. I mean, you can fall for that mistake with pretty much any stack or framework or programming language which supports modularization and provides a package manager. Why single out JavaScript?

I didn't come here to criticize, if you notice my first post, I came here to tell others to not to, regardless of my beliefs. then I was specifically asked for more detail, so I answered.

and I single out JS because I like programming languages and learn and use most of them, JS suffers from this problem the most. anyways, sorry, I did not intend to argue over this. so I will refrain from continuing. I have my personal views on JS and I was trying not to detail the thread, seems I failed.
