Node's package manager is very, very good - which I attribute to the fact that it's been able to learn from the mistakes of those before it.
Also the whole streaming/evented approach to web development is really cool. I know it's nothing new, but being able to require() a few modules and write a file upload component in 10 lines is pretty nifty.
- coherentpony 13y agoThat's interesting. I've used gem, npm, pip and luarocks. With my limited experience I'd say they're all pretty similar and all have their pros and cons. I usually resort to my OS's package manager instead. Is there a specific reason people think npm shines over the others?
- rpedela 13y agoCan't speak for all package managers, but I know that some do not handle multiple versions of the same package well. In contrast, NPM handles this very well. Publishing packages is also much easier than pip or Packagist (PHP) in my opinion.
