gollark: > I created this in 2014, when I was learning how to program. - literally on the github page for `is-even` and yet 110,720 weekly downloads

gollark: `is-even` actually depends on `is-odd`, and just uses that with the `!` operator.

gollark: `is-even` is popular too. It checks if a number is *even*.

gollark: Oh, several TENS of millions, silly me.

gollark: `is-number` is basically a package with several million weekly downloads with about five lines of code which test if a value is a number.
