`is-odd` seems overly complicated. Someone should put up a PR to simplify it to

    var isEven = require('is-even');

    module.exports = function isOdd(i) {
      return !isEven(i);
    };

is-odd dependency, is-number, has 52,783,048 weekly downloads. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-number)

just bizarre considering javascript has isNaN, Number.isFinite, and Number.isInteger; I guess there's a style of development where you check if what you want to do exists in npm first, without thinking about what the language itself offers.

it's not too bizarre when you consider no version of IE supports Number.isFinite or Number.isInteger.

If you are extensively using nodejs libraries to target IE, then you have other problems than supporting Number.isFinite or Number.isInteger to deal with first, considering that IE doesn't support modern ES versions in anyway. You'd have to use shims,polyfills and whatnot at first place and transpile all that npm code into something IE can run.

This isn't a very good argument to add an "is-even" package.

but this is an npm package, would a client side application be importing this code? surely at that point you could just include some Number polyfill as well (but you're right I was only thinking of node)

Yes, client side applications use npm as well.

Not a node person...is this, like, satire?

   >>is-even/package.json

   "dependencies": {
      "is-odd": "^0.1.2"
    },

Yes, clearly satire. The whole repo is a send up of the worst tendencies of JavaScript development

The creator claims it's not satire, he claims he was learning to code.

I guess we have a classic case of Poe's Law then

Also, both packages are made by the same two guys

Did you mean to say "the same guy?" It's one guy (or at least, one GitHub username), not two.

There are two github usernames...'i-voted-for-trump' and 'jonschlinkert'. Though they do appear to be "the same guy".

Sadly, no.
