- A package manager for JavaScript projects. With a fast network, `cotton install` runs faster than `rm -rf node_modules`.

I re-ran their benchmarks. Cotton ran several times faster than other package managers, taking less than 2 seconds without any cache.
I recently found Cotton, an alternative to npm or yarn.

Has anyone else ever tried this? `cotton install` is only slightly faster than `rm -rf node_modules`, not as fast as they claim. I guess it can save a bit here and there, but I don't see the point.
Does anyone else use Cotton? I'm the lead developer for 3 different web applications, and package installation is only a small part of building (only takes ~1 minute). Saving 1 minute on a 10 minute build wouldn't be that important.

Monorepo or not?
I highly recommend using a package proxy like https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio instead of git submodules if you have more then one developer using your code/repo. Biggest factor is the cost of the developers time. Why teach them a different way to install dependancies when there is a standard way of doing things your CI/CD is simplified, the knowledge of git submodules is good to know, but this is now tribal knowledge on how to setup this up, update dependancies, etc...
