You have a point there, but I do wonder if this is inevitable, or if (1) the language does make a difference in that regard and (2) the community can help steer newcomers in the right direction and establish best practices, standards of quality, etc. etc. (cf. Clojure?)

As a side note, I feel like this has happened to some degree to the React ecosystem. I can no longer count on packages to be of decent quality.
