This is an amusing joke poking fun at the sheer number of npm packages, but the linked packages for detecting positive[1] and negative[2] zero were at least a little interesting:

[1]: https://github.com/sindresorhus/positive-zero

[2]: https://github.com/sindresorhus/negative-zero

There are also more advanced packages:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-noop https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.noop

Doubt it's a joke. see https://github.com/kevva/calc-percent

it seems to be a plot towards a full modular universe

Is it a joke? I sure hope so.

I had a chuckle.
