JavaScript community

I'm writing some javascript (for the web) for the first time in a long time and I am realizing that I would be well served by using a bit of tooling like eslint and standardjs.

I am reluctantly willing to apt install nodejs but I am not willing to use npm because of my impression that it is a fractal of yolo curl | bash philosophy which will randomly install and automatically run malware or indistinguishable-from-malware garbage I don't want.

So, my question is: how can I install things like standardjs without using npm?

Please do not tell me that I should just use npm.

Some questions:

• Would you pay to use MDN?
• Do you think MDN Plus is more like a Technical support service or a way to restrict content that used to be free?
• Do you think there are other ways Mozilla can monetize?

The book (HTML) uses JavaScript sublanguages that we call Source.

One of the great advantages of Deno is the absence of a package manager, this section is practically monopolized by two corporations (MS with npm and FB with yarn); Deno has shown itself to be a more independent ecosystem with respect to its counterpart, Node. Do you think that this decision taken by the core team was the right one? would you have preferred it to become a foundation instead of a company? Will it become a more independent solution or will it end up like Node with OpenJS? being a front entity for a few big techs that lobby the ecosystem?

do you know any website using Lemmy and has a completely different UI? Just curious to know how well it bends to different tastes.
