That's the one that's like Yarn’s global cache, but without compression, right?
Not sure, but probably. I only used yarn 1. Never got around to trying yarn 2+ as migrating our fairly large monorepo project at the time felt like a pretty large and complicated ordeal. By the time I switched jobs npm was already a whole lot better in the ways most important to me.
The little I’ve read about and used pnpm so far it seems a lot more plug n play than yarn while bringing big benefits. Even workspaces seems a lot simpler than it ever was with yarn (at least when I used it). Love the idea of non-flat node_modules and simplified lock files as well.
Time will tell if npm incorporates enough of pnpm’s features to make it obsolete eventually but for now I can understand why it seems so widely adopted.
I mean, the essential difference of no node_modules is shared, as are workspaces.
I think pnpm is more manual, but therefore less magic than yarn. More compatible, less stuff just works
the only JS package manager I have on my system.
