This is written by substack, who is among the most prolific (if not the most prolific) contributors to npm. Node.js has benefitted from the power of standard packaging. It is really incredible how easy it is to work in that ecosystem. Provided a solid mechanism for packaging and dependency description the same pattern should be possible in C++ as well. I look forward to that day. Things will really take off when it costs almost nothing to leverage someone else&#x27;s work in a controlled way.
