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.
I don't get why JS still has such a bad rap.
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 :)
