I made some changes to a node express project that I haven't touched in almost five years. I was pleasantly surprised that I only needed to update one dependency to get it working again!
(It was sqlite3, which is a native dependency using node-gyp.)
I see that *up has become an increasingly common name for toolchain installers: rustup, ghcup, even juliaup.
I think Rust was the first to use this terminology? I'm curious how similar the different *up tools are.
It's weird that GitHub shows time since the last commit, but not time since the first commit. It's a nice way of seeing how mature a project is.
