A big chunk of those are only used during development and compilation (like `6to5` and `Babel` and all the `@types` libs). They are not (or at least should not be) included in the final, downloadable product.

I wonder what the dependency tree looks like.

Flattened like this, it looks ridiculously redundant-- why are there 7 different implementations of extend?

Most likely one of the dependencies required a certain version and did not include the caret (certain version or higher), and another dependency did the same thing with a different version, and so on.

Left Slack a long time ago (and took my eight hundred employees with me).
