I'm not opposed to NPM, because dumb shit like this happens everywhere. If such a package is used millions of times a day, perhaps it would make sense to standardise it and have it as part of the fucking browser or node runtime...

There's a js runtime called bun that is 90-something% feature equivalent to node and also has built in alternatives to many packages like express and bcrypt. I haven't used it myself so I can't speak to its quality but it's always nice to see a little competition

So is Deno! You can easily import npm: and node: packages and run typescript without transpiling. With Bun and Deno there's no reason to use Node tbh.

node now supports stripping types, which is good enough for one-off TS snippet.
(available only in nightly for now)
