Hmm, an adequate explanation, but why in the world is someone making a public library out of that, and furthermore, why in the world are people using this library? The library has been downloaded 2300 times in the past year!

I have nothing against bad developers—we all started there—but there is something seriously wrong with the JavaScript ecosystem and the barrier of entry for pushing your code into other people's projects through libraries.
