Is-even Memes

The JavaScript ecosystem has evolved into a bizarre bazaar of utility packages with download counts that would make NASA jealous. We've got packages to check if numbers are odd (1.5M downloads/month), even (712K/month), or negative zero (98M/month)! Meanwhile, "is-primitive" quietly collects 12M downloads monthly for telling us if something is... wait for it... primitive. Revolutionary stuff. But the crown jewel? "kind-of" with a staggering 438M downloads/month to determine a value's type—something JavaScript can do natively with typeof. It's like buying bottled air when you're already outside. The NPM ecosystem: where we collectively decided that typing "number % 2 === 0" was just too much work. And we wonder why our node_modules folder needs its own zip code.
