I’m not a node/js apologist, but every time there is a vulnerability in NPM package, this opinion is voiced.

But in reality it has nothing to do with node/js. It’s just because it’s the most used ecosystem. So I really don’t understand the argument of not using node. Just be mindful of your dependencies and avoid updating every day.

It has everything to do with node/js. Because the community believes in tiny dependencies that must be updated as often as possible and the tooling reflects that belief.

it's interesting that staying up to date with your dependencies is considered a vulnerability in Node
