> Let's try to avoid the endless dependency hell just out of easy
availability of small helper packages. See the [https://hackernoon.com
/whats-really-wrong-with-node-modules-and-why-this-is-your-fault-
8ac9fa893823 experience] with npm in the Javascript world as a case in

dependency, unless there really is no other way.
