    Node modules has a tendency to become huge as some libraries depend on 50 other libraries but only use a function or two from each

    @ItsNotMyFault Thanks!
    @bkwilliams Based on @ItsNotMyFault's answer, the joke is not about the warping space time part, but about the lots of mass (size in node_modules) part, but thanks anyway.

    It's not just node it's package management in general... To do ftp syncing in php with a library involved 90 files using composer... My version in procedural was 90 lines 1x file
