Only to find a packages.json file without a packages-lock.json file checked in, to make it impossible to restore the node_modules directory.

The real problem is that NPM wouldn’t be around. Better check in your node_modules directory the night before archive day so it’s included.

  I don't think there would be enough storage capability to store that many node_module directories.

    Assuming they are deduping based on content hash it shouldn’t be that big a deal. Worst case it’s the size of npm itself.

        100KB per file would cover most JS projects. Even those with a checked nose_modules would be entirely included as the dependencies are already expanded.

        However, many projects have resources (e.g PNG or JPG images) which are larger than 100kB. These will be lost...

  And Java and Keith Richards. But only one of these four things will still be interesting.

  Pretty sure the universe is running on some advanced version of Erlang. Erlang VM would survive until heat death of the universe, when it finally crashes the heartbeat program will kick in and we'll have a new big bang

I don't know if finding both JSON files but having to download leftPad would be any better...
