Aside, the size of the NPM database ... is that really indicative of the amount of JS code out there? For example, how many trivial modules like &quot;isarray&quot; are there, whose sole active code is this single line?<p><pre><code>     return Object.prototype.toString.call(arr) == &#x27;[object Array]&#x27;;
</code></pre>
Is npm really the largest codebase, larger than PyPI, Maven and Ruby Gems?<p>On a more subjective level, does npm solve more nontrivial problems than any other programming language repository?
