>I fail to comprehend how a single-function-library called "isNumber" even needs updating, much less "fairly frequently". If someone uses isNumber as a fundamental building block and surrogate for Elm or Typescript (a transpiler intermediate that would treat number more soundly I hope), this poor soul whom I deeply pity will encounter a lot of strange edge-cases (like that one stated in the article: NaN is a number or not?) and if they fear the burden of forking the library they will try to inflict this burden upstream, enabling feature or conf bloat. I insinuate that installation of isNumber is, like most of these basic microlibs, a symptom of incompetence in usage of the language. A worn JS dev would try isNaN(parseInt(num+'')) and sometime succeed. |
