I do not think insulting language like "spam" is helpful here.
In unstable there are around 3500 packages for perl modules,
and even more for python modules.
The whole JS ecosystem still being a bit immature is a real problem,
but the number of packages itself is not a problem.
I am not a fan of all that JS stuff, but I do not see any valid basis
for rejecting such packages in general.
