The funky progress bar is about the coolest thing with npm. They could let it take a minute if they wanted too and i would keep watching it with amazement.

- alanh 11y agonpm 2.x user here. Does anybody want to share a video of the 3.x progress bar? (Easy with QuickTime or CloudApp, btw)

- freshyill 11y agoI see that with iTerm 2, but using Terminal gives me a very different experience. Here's a side-by-side: https://youtu.be/odoVfHHBYVM https://youtu.be/odoVfHHBYVM Until recently, I had no clue iTerm was doing something weird. I just figured npm install was just ugly and incomprehensible.

- jessaustin 11y agoHoly crap that was fast.
- wasd 11y agoWhat's the color scheme you're using for terminal? I'm also rocking agnoster.
- arrakeen 11y agoyou mean the progress bar that takes up way too much screen real estate to the extent that it completely cuts off any useful information from the install process?
- krisdol 11y agoYes, that one. I agree with you, by the way. I don't have a terminal in front of me, but the progress bar seems to leave something like 10 characters of less of rapidly-changing status updates in exchange for the vast majority of horizontal real estate. I bet if they had split the bar onto a separate line from the status, it would run faster
- johansch 11y agoYour statement captures my feeling of node.js developers quite well.
- vectorpush 11y agolol yeah, people who write code in languages I don't like are total tools.
