To be fair in a dynamic typed language with dumb string to int coercions, I kinda get why such a library would exists. So it's more a symptom of terrible language design than modern dependency hell.

https://10xengineersqualityprogramming.github.io/ https://www.npmjs.com/package/@falsejs/falsejs This is hilarious, has 262 of the best useless dependencies. In all seriousness though how does anyone ever audit a npm package, it's dependency hell!
