As an outsider to the npm ecosystem, reading this list of packages is astonishing. Why do js people import someone else's npm module for every little trivial thing?

Which of these would you prefer to reimplement?

Debug, chalk, ansi-styles?

You can pretend like this is unique to JS ecosystem, but xz was compromised for 3 years.

Okay, but you're not suggesting that a compression algorithm is the same scale as "is-arrayish". I don't think everyone should need to reimplement LZMA but installing a library to determine if a value is an array is bordering on satire.
