    @swagnette And here is the source code for that package. https://github.com/i-voted-for-trum...

    'use strict';

    var isOdd = require('is-odd');

    module.exports = function isEven(i) {

    return !isOdd(i);

    };

    The description of the repo says this was a learning project rather than a serious library though.

    Alrighty then.
    If I catch you using a js keyword like "try" or "catch", or god forbid "function", then what?

    Reminds me one colleague who asked me once:

    A: Why you using jQuery, it is dead.

    B: This is WordPress, jQuery is already in there.

    A: You can use whatever you want.

    B: Deep truth, i want use what is already in there.

    Unnecessary libraries lead to complexity. Making simple problems complex, and then using even more complex solutions to solve the inflated complexity is the sign of a successful IT Manager.

    @swagnette I can't "even"... I can't "odd" either...

    @electrineer to be fair, if his github bio is to be trusted, he's gone on to fully commit to open source and participates in a lot of stuff after learning to program in his late thirties.

    Despite how memey is-even and is-odd are, it's very respectable.
