> what happens when popular-library.io goes down or gets hacked?

What is anyone going to do about it? Anything has a chance of getting hacked or goes down just when you need it, be it GitHub, npmjs.org...

Blaming the tool for not having a protection against DNS poisoning is a bit far fetched.




ultimately i guess it is about how/if deno caches its imports. with node.js/npm you have the exact same problems, just the source & sink occur at different places (package installation)


With Node.js you install the packages in a dev environment, and test extensively, then push all the code, including node_packages folder to production. Running npm on the prod server is forbidden. At least in theory =)
