I tried Yarn a few months ago, wasted half an hour because of some silly issues, though I think there was a problem with NPM on that day. I threw it away after that. At least Java has Kotlin, it's made Java pleasant for me again. I get the logic of the browserify movement, after all we've been punting Node.js as the grail of shared code. The irritating thing is that a lot of what's out there is opinionated, you read 3 tutorials/guides and everyone does something differently. I follow nodejs/node on Github, and the amount of comments over the past year or 2 for and against modules is what kept me standing on the fence for very long. I struggled just to get Mongoose working properly with TS a few weeks ago, the thought of having to waste a few days converting everything to a Class before I can export my functions properly turned me off. Now I just ignore the TS warnings because I know my code works.
