I'm a nodejs developer. I use its package manager `npm` on a daily basis. `nodejs` packaging philosophy enforces you to break every lib into smaller modules in order to have small, consistent, easy to reason about, modules. While being a great philosophy, it requires developers to maintain many projects, thus owning many github repositories (often private when working for clients).

This is a great news for me.

"require('./user/auth')(User);" is a simple call to the "./user/auth" module with User as a parameter. Check https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/src/user/auth.j...

Why using :

    function doFoo(bar) {
      bar = (bar !== undefined) ? bar : "default_value";
    }

Over :

    function doFoo(bar) {
      bar = bar || "default_value";
    }

Coercion avoidance ?

Plus - sadly - expensive.
