A bit off-topic and I don't know whether anyone will find it as interesting as I did, but today while reading the source code of npm I stumbled upon a word called "arborist" (which means "tree surgeon" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arborist)), and there's an npm package @npmcli/arborist whose stated purpose is to "inspect and manage node_modules trees".

I have neither directly used this package nor have anything to do with arboriculture (what arborists engage in), I just thought that someone chose a very fitting name for an npm package.

After seeing this HN post I couldn't not share this finding.
