It’s a great choice for the JS ecosystem for the same reason it’s a terrible choice for the JS ecosystem: JS dependencies are a lot, and they sometimes want to do strange things at install-time that Nix frowns upon. There’s definitely an upfront cost, and a maintenance burden as well. But the flexibility and the control over what code you’re actually running could still be worth it.

The world should frown on the strange things JS and other languages do at install time and not accept it.
