A notable JavaScript developer shamelessly copied one of my most downloaded nod
I think I made it pretty clear that I was suggesting these packages are somewhere above the one-liners. But perhaps for contrast we should compare to the other end of the spectrum... Intel uses Minix3 in intelME which is part of every modern intel CPU [0]. Minix3 has a 3 clause BSD license which requires reproducing the copyright notice for basic attribution [1].
Now in Tanenbaum's public letter, he politely suggested it would have been courteous if they had informed him of what it was being used for [0]... no mention of lack of attribution, he didn't make even 1/10th the fuss this NPM package developer made.

Node still seems better than python after all this time for web server speed but..
Numpy is a library - node.js has plenty of them, what is missing? There is stdlib package that offers optimized math functions, for example.

Servo, the parallel browser engine written in Rust
Websites do the same thing as 15 years ago? Not true, websites can now exceed desktop apps. Was their figma 15 years ago?
20 times more complex - this comes with doing more. 15 years ago there was no CI/CD.
Write CSS - don’t have to given Sass, components, and bootstrap.
Performance is worse - look at v8 benchmarks, look at webgl and Wasm. The browser itself can run much faster today, and people are doing more with it.
JS barebones - just one package. https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib. - and the node ecosystem is a feature not a bug.
Look elsewhere - every other UI framework we’ve tried before has been worse in terms of compatibility, functionality, flexibility, and available prebuilt tooling.

“True” Randomness vs. “Pseudo” Randomness
two of the best PRNG libs for JS/TS: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/random and https://github.com/stdlib-js/stdlib

my thoughts about Node as a backend
Scientific calculations - like what? There is a stlib package for JS where CPU hungry parts are written in C.

What convenience libraries are must use?
lodash and lodash-es for browser are good, check out also stdlib
