"Look at how all these much smaller package ecosystems don't have the problems of the largest one."
is the tl;dr of this article.
Npm having a lot of packages at least partially a problem of lacking standard library, no? And partially developer culture where every trivial thing is a package. Anyway, similar thing will happen to rust soon enough (*looks at 1 gig of dependencies for a cli program*).
