Yes, it was bizarre to see:

- Python is too big

- Python's standard library is too small

- therefore, you should use JavaScript

It made me wonder if I was hallucinating, so I went and checked... my `node` execurtable is 78MB. Thanks to its robust standard library, my node_modules folder is only 884 MB.

I never said "you should use JavaScript." The post is my own justifications for avoiding Python and I'm not even saying JS beats it on all of these points. The better performance and adequacy of npm/yarn just barely tips the scales in favor of it for me.
