Cool guide!

I think the JS ecosystem got a lot of things really right. And it's still developing at speed. Things I like about the JS ecosystem:

  • lots of CLI tools: npm, npx etc
  • convergence wrt packaging
  • convergence wrt application configuration (package.json)
  • good package registry (npm)
  • doing local stuff like running tests is quite fast

There's definitely things not to love in the JS ecosystem, but that's a topic for another post :-)
