If the author thinks that LUA depend your hell is bad, just wait until he gets t JavaScript dependency hell. And where it is apparently normal for an “npm install” to bring in over 1000 dependencies, even for a nearly trivially small program.
Just wait.
Gah!
Damn You Autocorrect!!!
Try “Dependency Hell”.
Sigh.....
Yeah, I tend to use Lua exactly for this reason: to escape the dependency hell of JS and Node and so on.
Having fewer 3rd-party libraries to use in formulating an addiction to dependencies is often a positive thing.
