And one of them is left-pad. In all honesty though, even the # of downloaded packages isn't instructive.

What I'd LOVE to see is the average # of NPM packages used in javascript / typescript projects over time. I get the feeling that would be very instructive to the state of javascript development. My expectation is that javascript projects will be seen as exploding in number of active dependencies. I'd also like to see average build time for typescript projects.
