Are you joking? This is a good thing? With packages like is-odd and is-even? It's a complete and utter mess
and Node has long shown it's a competent back-end language
Node isn't a language and honestly anything can do the job, once you get used to it. Node lacks a lot of things, but simplicity attracts people, not it's features or anything related to being competent or mature or anything else as language, because it's not.
Being able to access the same function as a package, a CLI, an API and a front-end webservice
This is nice indeed, but nothing that new or amazing. We were sharing code between different platforms, operating systems, etc even in the 90s and this is only how far I remember, so probably much longer.
No I'm not. I know it's a very dividing subject and I agree is-odd and alike are a stretch. However, modules should be trusted black-boxes. If you don't want to trust others, you still have the choice to code you own.

I don't get why JS still has such a bad rap. At the same time I don't care if people like it or not. I just pick the language that allow me to do the most, and today it's JS.

No one has the truth. Every word on Internet is subjective. Moreover, once again, if JS is awesome (being true or not) doesn't imply other are not.
So about trust - you will quickly get bored of checking who you trust if you decide to inspect a more complex package. An old joke is that JS developers compete if they can build a meaningful app with less than 100 dependencies. You add 10-15 dependencies and and that quickly escalates to over 300 folders in you node_modules. So theoretically - you can, practically - no way in hell.

OK you MUST be joking this time. Right?
The "this" hell, funny features like parsing numbers in octal format by default, "funny" date functions, assuming months start from 0 etc. Yeah all of this helps the good reputation I guess.
And yes, we get around these parts by using TypeScript or literally anything else but plain old vanilla JS, exactly because of this.
Anyway, keep up the enthusiasm, and don't give up. Learn more and have fun :)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

NPM - we all know what happened, when the turkish guy got offended and deleted his own package: qz.com/646467/how-one-programmer-b...
