Next Genpm

Numerous web projects rely on npm to manage dependencies, both front-end and back-end. The familiar npm install command pulls in countless files into the node_modules folder. While npm remains dominant, the surrounding technology faces ongoing competition.

Yarn, with its lockfiles ensuring consistent dependency versions across environments, gained significant traction. Its speed optimizations were also a key advantage. However, npm now incorporates lockfiles and claims comparable or superior speed.

The landscape is evolving with a new generation of package managers emerging. Here are some notable contenders:

• pnpm: Prioritizes speed and efficiency, particularly for multi-project workflows, by storing each package version only once on disk.
• Turbo: Designed for browser-based execution.
• Pika: Aims to eliminate the mandatory use of bundlers after dependency download, enabling direct ES6 imports. UNPKG offers similar functionality, providing direct URLs to npm packages and experimenting with ES6 import support.
• npm's tink: A radical approach eliminating Node.js entirely, allowing both import and require statements without a node_modules directory.
