                On Using `assert` as Your Assertion Library
              
          
    This gist is a more detailed followup to this tweet
in which I advocate for using Node's assert module as your goto
assertion library.
Not Hatin', Just Sayin' Disclaimer: There are plenty of perfectly good JavaScript assertion libraries
out there. If you're happy with your current choice in assertion libraries, please continue using them.
This gist is just my personal opinion. It does not represent the opinion of my employer, your employer,
or anyone else.
