> there is a lot of hate for Python's "kitchen sink" library in JavaScript world
Is there? Most "js people" have never had the pleasureful experience of working with a "pleasantly opinionated" language like Python and the similar feel of its libraries, even the 3rd party ones.
Really, there's something really awesome in the Python ecosystem that should be spread to others before node takes over the world: If done right, being opinionated ("one way to do it") and centrally planned (a BDFL or smth like that) is A GOOD THING for an open-source language/infrastructure project! And it's also good if you extend the philosophy to the libraries and frameworks. Don't ditch the baby with the bathwater!
But I have a really hard time translating this message to "node-speak" unfortunately... Thanks for the "saves money" tip though, never thought of that, will try it ;)
