Unpopular take on NPM:
NPM is a very good package manager registry. It's just extremely popular because javascript is extremely popular and the entry barrier is tiny compared to other languages and registries.
These issues would pop up in any package manager, no matter the language, you just need enough users and usecases.
- stonogo 3y agoWhen did this happen in CPAN?
- sebazzz 3y agoNo, NPM has never been thought out well. Many of the improvements in npm over the years were all either (1) due to accidents that many other package managers like NuGet already prevent by default or (2) features that were already implemented in Yarn 1.x.
