I beg to differ; witness the fibur[0] Ruby Gem. Written by Arron Patterson (@tenderlove) to show that using threads in Ruby is very easy. The Gem consists of this single line:

   Fibur = Thread
Of course, he did it as a joke, and it doesn't excuse the serious packages that NPM contains, but it does prove that other languages have single line packages.
