> JavaScript/Python developers are happy (or willing) to try something new, so new alternatives are created. FWIW as far as JavaScript on NodeJS goes, npm did set the standard quite firmly. You can also use yarn or pnpm, which promise improvements over npm while using the same package metadata (`package.json`) and produce npm-compatible structures in the same subdirectory (`node_modules`), so overall the user experience is muche like going from `sudo apt-get install` to the newer, more polished and otherwise largely equivalent `sudo apt install`.
