I don't know if it is because of the javacript implementations being historically so distinct among themselves, and I maybe weego exaggerated a little bit. But that seems to be true to some extent among javascript libraries.

I'm not a very a very experienced javascript developer, just the occasional user, but the malfunctioning third party script syndrom is still out there on the javascript world. Sure the situation might be better than in 1997 but still...

I wouldn't say CPAN is comparable, the standard is higher and the modules work without glitches in most of the cases.




The comparison with CPAN was more to do with the abandoned modules - if you go onto CPAN you'll find lots of modules which were created years ago and then never updated, but they still show up in search results.
