My fear might probably be unfounded, but NPM is an integral part of the JS ecosystem. And given MicroSoft has .NET Core, I have a strange feeling that they'll concentrate on npm less.
- sebazzz 7y agoI think they view it as way to make Core more reliable. Core relies community developed - npm hosted - tools like gulp and webpack. Unlike the full Framework, Core doesn't have "built-in" or "endorsed" bundling solution.
- ethomson 7y agoProduct Manager at GitHub here - I'll be the Product Manager for npm when the acquisition closes. I agree - npm is definitely an integral part of the JavaScript ecosystem. The npm package registry will remain free for public projects. We're going to work to ensure that the service is stable and accessible, and ready to serve the next million packages. This is independent of what Microsoft's doing with .NET Core. I'm excited about the work that they're doing, but this isn't going to stop us from making sure that npm is outstanding.
- Nullabillity 7y ago> I'm excited about the work that they're doing Sounds like it won't be shielded from the cult-like MS mentality, then.
