I did a bit of investigation into angular2 dependancies. It has alot more than angular1 and react http://royka.github.io/2016/05/03/front-end-deps.html
It seems to me, that angular2 has a second system problem.

#22Interesting fact that I recently came across: bower and many other npm packages, has some dependencies that eventually depends on a package called "wordwrap". And this "wordwrap" package somehow has its test folder exposed in npm. The result: Every single person using bower would have one or more copies of In Praise of Idleness by Bertrand Russell on your local machine, depending on how many of your projects has a np…
I have 16 copies on my work computer.

#2332,000 files for a hello world... jeez, i'm going back to java.....
Not a lot better: $ unzip -l /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_77/jre/lib/rt.jar | wc -l 20138 It's just less of a burden on the host filesystem because those files are usually loaded straight from the jar (i.e. zip file).
Also note that this is only the standard library. If you add an enterprise framework you're probably pushing 50k.

#25Has npm finally figured out how to de-dupe dependencies? In one project, I have something like 47 copies of the same version of the same library, distributed at all levels of the node_modules hierarchy. I try not to think about that JS tooling too hard, lest I start pulling my hair out and devolve into a screaming crazy person.

Wasteful yet subversive
Re: Huge no. of files for Angular 2
#27Is there a "distribution" bundle convention for npm ? Analogous to static linking, it would be one .js file that would bind all dependencies into a bundle (e.g. gulp.dist.js) . In that case you would end up with a much smaller number of dependency files to manage.

I was just about to write a comment to ask why it can't be done like this (using CAS / symlinks). So I guess it can. Are there any disadvantages to using ied over npm?

It's a good job they didn't pick the Anarchists' Cookbook.
