> npm scripts no longer prepend the path of the node executable used to run npm before running scripts. A --scripts-prepend-node-path option has been added to configure this behavior. Why? That seems like a good default, something most people would need.
So the most interesting part of npm4 release are the announced improvements that are coming in npm5 :)
Is there any reason to do this?
After using yarn for a week, I can't imagine going back to npm. I use npm 90% for install, and yarn does this so much better. Installs are 3-4 times faster. Output is minimal and readable (compared to npm's wall of text that I never read). Packages are cached so I can work with slow connections in coffee shops. Sorry to be blunt, but I feel none of the release features gonna help my daily usage of npm. How about actu…
I'm super excited to use yarn but, just a heads up, we hit this pretty severe issue when setting it up for our projects: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/761

Thanks for the highlight, I use npm solely for global installs, will give yarn a try.

I went to DuckDuckGo to check out what yarn is. The front page makes no mention of JavaScript at all (at least on mobile). Accordingly to DuckDuckGo the whole site mentions "JavaScript" only three times. The same is true about the GitHub readme: no mentions of JavaScript at all. Before praising something, makes sense to tell people what it is. /rant Thanks for the highlight, I use npm solely for global installs, will…
