eslint-plugin-clutter

ESLint plugin for detecting micro-dependencies and redundant packages.

The JavaScript ecosystem is filled with clutter:

• Micro-packages - one-liners, often with native equivalents you should use instead
• Obsolete packages - packages made obsolete by a better, newer package. NPM should take care of this but not all authors remember to mark their packages as obsolete
• Obsolete packages (native replacements) - packages no longer needed because the platform (e.g. browsers, node, etc.) support the functionality out of the box

Micro-packages are a bad idea, a horrible idea. They are high risk, often untrusted and usually completely unnecessary. Let's get rid of them.
