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.
gollark: My main issue with it is:- JS is a wildly unsafe language (in different ways to C, at least) although TS partly fixes this. *Partly*- Hundreds of dependencies needed to do much. I recently interacted with someone on the internet who said this was a *good* thing, and talked about `is-number` being useful. They may be nsane.
gollark: Callbacks have been *mostly* obsoleted by promises, fortunately.
gollark: See, I avoid the hassle of PHP by writing web applications in Node.js, which has fun exciting things like asynchronousness with something like three different ways to write it (events, callbacks, promises, arguably generators), and 1000 dependencies per project.
