- crag 15y agoAnd that's unfortunate npm took such a narrow approach. Also right now, there are too many duplicate packages. Is there a list of "good" packages I should install? For mysql alone there are like 6 packages. And that's not counting tools like Activerecord. Glad to hear that Joynet is porting Node to windows. Now lets get npm to Windows.
- jjm 15y agoThere are many duplicate packages by intent because there is no central management authority. Some packages are alpha and some filled out ready for use. What is clear is that packages are not apt-get/appstore quality, but what do you expect? I love it, the rate of new Node.JS packages is awesome. Unfettered development. Node is like the wild west 1800s so come prepared.
- glenjamin 15y agoIn my experience most packages on npm try and stick to pure javascript. This means they should work excellently on windows.
