The biggest reason by far why Yarn got so popular so quickly was because it didn't come and try to split the existing ecosystem but chose build on top of npm's foundation with ways that npm didn't (at that point) offer instead.
- brad0 9y agoYes I agree! I didn't really make myself clear. I feel that if yarn kept its strategy but had more senior developers writing the core software I think it could have been able to outpace npm in terms of features and speed. If this had have been the case then it wouldn't make sense to use npm at all. Yarn would be faster and have more features. From my experience I feel that yarn isn't offering much value now and the codebase quality means that future features will take too long to build.
- petetnt 9y ago"More senior developer" such as who or categorised by what metrics? Age?
- slavik81 9y agoPerhaps I'm wrong, but from your posts here I don't get the sense that you were close enough to the project to really know their team composition or how to improve it. Your prescription comes off as armchair quarterbacking.
- spraak 9y agoThe appeal to most that I've seen, myself included, is that yarn is faster than npm. Is that not your experience?
