Hi Henrik,

Very interesting find!  I wouldn't have thought Node.js was that far along
in their modules.

One thing the author of that site misses is scrutiny of modules.  For
example, npm mkdirp** is a module in Node.js but is built into the base
Ruby runtime***.  So an apples-to-apples comparison won't work unless
somebody wants to go to the effort of fully dissecting those results.


**https://www.npmjs.org/package/mkdirp
***
