pnpm VS yarn

We assume that Node.js and pnpm are already installed. The setup was performed on macOS, but it should work in any modern shell environment.

I think this is somewhat funny.

His comment is pretty understandable if you've done frontend work in javascript.

Node_modules is so ripe for duplicate content that some tools explicitly call out that they're disk efficient (It's literally in the tagline for PNPM "Fast, disk space efficient package manager": https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm)

So he got ok results (~13% savings) on possibly the best target content available in a user's home directory.

Then he got results so bad it's utterly not worth doing on the rest (0.10% - not 10%, literally 1/10 of a single percent).

Deduplication isn't super simple, isn't always obviously better, and can require other system resources in unexpected ways (ex - lots of CPU and RAM). It's a cool tech to fiddle with on a NAS, and I'm generally a fan of modern CoW filesystems (incl APFS).

But I want to be really clear - this is people picking spare change out of the couch style savings. Penny wise, pound foolish. The only people who are likely to actually save anything buying this app probably already know it, and have a large set of real options available. Everyone else is falling into the "download more ram" trap.

3) Pnpm (Space Saver & high performant)

pnpm or npm or yarn

My stack of choice is node and pnpm, but this should work for most commonly used tools.

Pretty simple. Now, I just needed to change the code to use Playwright instead of Puppeteer and Jest. Oh, and I also wanted to use pnpm instead of npm. Here’s a link to my forked GitHub repo.

As an alternative, you can use the Yarn CLI command:

Yarn, but you can use npm or pnpm as alternatives to yarn if you prefer.

Unfortunately, as I found out, yarn's resolutions property has a long history of not playing well with optionalDependencies: anything placed into resolutions is treated as required and will abruptly fail to install if it is, for example, a platform-specific package appropriate for your deploy environment but not your dev environment or vice versa, as is the case here.

It was July 2021. I started with [email protected] since I’ve been using it for a long time. Yarn was fast, but soon I met several issues with Yarn Workspaces. E.g., not hoisting dependencies correctly, and tons of issues are tagged with “fixed in modern”, which redirects me to the v2 (berry).
