But you don't write scripts in package.json and it also failed to show an example how the javascript dependencies could be loaded with make. I think make works well in combination with package.json, but not as a replacement. You can also do the same stuff in an NPM command (which just loads node code) that you could do in a makefile script.

Not to mention that the top three package managers will load binary files from node_modules automagically by name only, without having to specify paths. That gets hairy in a monorepo, and package managers running package.json scripts manage them just fine.

  `npx` solves this elegantly as long as you `cd` to the project directory first.
