I never thought to myself, "wow, npm is slow." Is that really the core problem this is solving?

The initial set of dependencies is being installed via npm, the it installs its own dependencies via ied if told so: https://github.com/alexanderGugel/ied#installation This is a "cool" feature during development, since it's a nice proof of concept. Originally I checked in the node_modules directory, but then reddit was shitting on me as usual (yes, you shouldn't check in node_modules in an actual app, but this is PAC…

I think it's fine as it is. Could have chosen a worse name for sure! And, managing dependencies is like dealing with explosives anyways...

Have you used any other package manager? I'm not completely sure if it's just Node's dependency hell, but npm feels so incredibly slow compared to Cargo or bundler or something.

This post will attract those of conservative/libertarian mentality who like to stand for our right to use language that may offend people, but I just want to add another vote for changing the name. I am not particularly sensitive to these things, but upon reading the name, an image came to mind of a soldier leaning against a concrete wall on a dusty urban street, leg recently blown off, bleeding out, in shock. That i…
spend no more than 2 minutes picking a name, and stick with it
Hey everyone! I made this. I'm happy to answer any questions, but please bear in mind that this is a WIP. There is still a lot of work to be done, although feature parity with npm is not the goal. Upcoming features are: * Nix-like rollbacks * built in registry server * discovery + installation via BitTorrent DHT Would love to get any feedback!
This is my biggest bugbear with npm, as it pretty much rules out doing shell scripting with node.

Having fast immutable shrinkwrap installs, and the ability to upgrade or selectively upgrade packages in the shrinkwrap vs. the semver in package.json would be a huge win.
Unfortunate naming ie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device

Dude, don't listen to reddit when it comes to managing your own open source project.
