Hello Yarn 2, Goodbye node_modules
This is probably a good direction, but it seems like it's still contributing to JS dependency management becoming even hotter of a mess. There really shouldn't be two standard package managers for JS.<p>This also reminds me how much we keep reinventing the wheel on this. I know it's likely infeasible for various reasons but it seems like it would be great to have a language-agnostic package manager that worked more or less like Bundler and can solve these problems once.<p>(The most obvious downside of that is that – well – what language is it written in, and does it cause you to have to install multiple toolchains. Maybe the solution is some kind of standard spec for how package management should work, and the manifest formats, etc, and then each language ecosystem implements that standard. Or something. IDK.)<p>Edit: A cool feature of such a system could be installing dependencies from multiple language ecosystems via one manifest file.
