This sounds like satire but isn't - I just make sure the nodejs/npm packages don't exist on my system. I've yet to find a crucial piece of software that requires it. As much as I love that cute utility that turns maps into ascii art, it's not exactly sqlite in terms of usefulness.
Bit ridiculous to dismiss the most popular programming languages packaging repo as silly toys.
I don't deny that node/npm is useful for building servers, devtools for JS development itself, etc. but as an end user I haven't encountered anything useful which requires having it on my machine.
Ok? So you don't code in that language?
You still have multiple programming languages preinstalled on your OS, no matter which one it is.
