    This isn’t limited to JS. Too many times have I seen someone ask a question of how to do XYZ in language ABC where most of the replies were some form of “Just use this library bro” while not actually answering the question. And usually the library that’s being suggested is some big monolith that implements a ton of shit that no one really uses.

      Yeah. In my case I don’t have the option to install random libraries, so those replies aren’t helpful.

      It’s fine to call out a library that can make things easier, for those who can use it, but it can’t be the only solution.
