The problem is that when you write the functionality yourself, you’re likely to be subject to the same number of, if not more, bugs per 1000 lines as mentioned in the article, especially if the project has a deadline to meet. Using unnecessarily bloated libraries might be a bad choice, but in general I think it is indeed a good practice to use libraries that are widely adopted and well rated in the community.

Also not sure if the Java world and JS world are that different to the rest, though in the community of Elixir which I work with, “bloated” libraries are practically nonexistent, which I think should be similar for most functional languages.
