cotton
- 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.
