  > NPM is painfully slow Agree on the negativity (surprising and completely unwarranted), but a nitpick: npm install is slow (this doesn't replace that). NPM scripts are generally very fast, unless the implementation of your actual script is slow (in which case it will be similarly slow with Dum). (the Dum GH has benchmarks showing perf. gains for scripts, but the % improvement is only significant because the script doesn't do anything - the gains would be static for real-world use-cases, making the % gain negligible) All that said, there are other very valid reasons to use Dum - limited, and containing a lot of caveats, but very valid all the same.
