I want to take a minute on rant about the insanity that is having node_modules used a caching location. That's the big reason for the incompatibility for between npm and any package manager that attempts to clean up the node_modules mess (though the impact varies by solution). Maybe I'm just spoiled, coming from java, where you can expect your libraries to be in a read-only archive, and that tools separate the runtime from their cache.
