How is that comparison at all relevant?

I'm not sure you get how threading works, but this thread originated from the above quote. And comparing npm with Maven given the above statement is relevant, given it is the primary "Package management" system for Java, much like npm.

I perfectly well understand how threading works. Read the rest of the comment that you cherry picked that quote from, it's about being upset at how npm doesn't seem to be taking it's responsibility seriously.

If you had some information about Maven callously performing a user-hostile update, the comparison would be appropriate. As it is you're just relying on "lolz, Java sucks" as a form of argument.

No, I'm really not. I don't think java sucks at all, and never said as such.

I'm saying Maven isn't better, nor would npm's mistake be a good reason to switch from to Java from Node.

npm didn't perform a user-hostile update, they made a mistake with certificate authorities.

How many 0-days have forced a java upgrade on people... was that a 'user hostile' move by sun/oracle.

I think your line of reasoning is utterly ridiculous, and you are responding to words I didn't say.
