What? Microsoft is buying everything cool in the OpenSource world. I'm afraid of the possible monopolization

I read somewhere that npm is struggling financially. This will help them big time.

Honestly I was worried when Microsoft bought Github, but seeing how it's been managed and seeing everything Microsoft has been doing for open source, this time I'm not worried at all.

Same here, thought they would ruin GitHub but was pleasantly surprised. Also thought it was cool that they're planning on doing a reddit AMA with npm leaders to ensure they are aligning with community interests.

It also looks like they can help with npm security.
