Personal bests
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.
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.
