I&#x27;m not sure what your specific gripe is with npm. It&#x27;s one of the fastest and most capable package managers out there, is easily better than Python&#x27;s Pip (which doesn&#x27;t resolve dependencies) [0] and Go&#x27;s go-get silliness for example.<p>If your problem is just &#x27;lots of dependencies&#x27; that may break from under you, npm has a solution for that: &#x27;npm shrinkwrap&#x27;.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pypa&#x2F;pip&#x2F;issues&#x2F;988" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;pypa&#x2F;pip&#x2F;issues&#x2F;988</a>
