Does this use symlinks to a single copy of each dependency?
Not symlinks. Hard links. Or copy-on-write on systems that support them.
It appears to show several symlinks? Thanks for pnpm!
As a person who uses npm just for some hobby coding projects, it's quite frustrating that there are new partly incompatible package managers for the javascript ecosystem: npm, pnpm, yarn, yarn 2. Some packages need one, some another, so I tried to switch to yarn (or yarn 2) for a package that I wanted to try out, but then other packages stopped working. If there are clearly better algorithms, why not refactor npm and…
> If there are clearly better algorithms, why not refactor npm and add them in experimental flags to npm While node_modules has many flaws, in the current ecosystem all modes have their own pros and cons, and there isn't a "clearly better" algorithm: node_modules has less friction, PnP is sounder, and pnpm's symlinks attempt to be kind of an in-between, offering half the benefits at half the "cost". Like in many comp…
But I think it is best to use Yarn for PnP and pnpm for the symlinked node_modules structure.

A single copy of each required version of each dependency.
So is that a yes? Or does it still pull a copy for each projects local node_modules?

I recently migrated a fairly large monorepo (20+ packages) that used Lerna and npm to pnpm, and the improvement in developer experience was pretty massive. Dependency install times went down by a huge amount, and all the strange issues we had with lerna and npm sometimes erroring out, requiring us to remove all node_modules folders and re-install everything, are just gone. We even noticed that the size of some of our…

Given what a dumpster fire npm ecosystem is security wise, it's best to run the whole build chain in a container anyway, at least for frontend apps. This way you also don't care about the chosen package manager or node.js version - you can just set it as you wish in the Dockerfile. It does take more disk space though, but to me it's a nice compromise.

"We will unblock it when you stop the war and de-occupy all the Ukrainian territory." There's what, maybe a handful of people who can make that happen?
That was the deal a few weeks ago. After the atrocities that their army has committed in my country, I do not think I will ever unblock traffic from Russian Federation.

Generally I've found sticking with npm to be best. It's not the super-slow thing that it was before, and I can't remember the last time a package didn't install because it wasn't compatible with npm. I tried pnpm and it didn't just work, so I gave up. I would revisit it, but npm works. These days I don't really see a reason to use yarn (but would like to hear them).

[EDIT: (thanks ttybird2! b^)] We might need to change the following diagram? https://pnpm.io/motivation It appears to show several symlinks? Thanks for pnpm!
