    Ecosystems matter, though. In fact, I think they’re the hardest part to learn for most languages.

    You can try to get away from NPM, but you’ll always run across instructions on how to do a thing in NPM. Do it any other way, and you’re on your own.

    You can try to write Java in a less verbose way, but the standard library will fight you before we even talk about third party libs.
