Jezen/is-thirteen: Check if a number is equal to 13

Well the title might have given it away.... the api of the package is pretty nice actually, some thought was put into it.

Looks like one of a series of joke NPM packages popularized after the left-pad fiasco.

It's not a web joke. It's someone playing around with npm and github.

It used to be that you could setup a web page with just a few lines of code and js script include and a css inlude.

I bet this lib was created as satire. Modern day web frameworks are so bloated and filled with overhead that even a simple one line evaluation can be turned into a monstrosity.

It's satire playing on the fact that the entire Node.js ecosystem is built around 1-liner packages that in any other language this would just be code snippets you'd find on stack overflow.

Look at: is-windows (seems archived now for some reason) or https://github.com/jonschlinkert/isobject - 2.6million dependencies

These packages started out as a good idea to make a standard library for javascript, but after event-stream, left-pad, and other controversies, it's becoming apparent how much of an anti-pattern small 1-liner packages have become.
