The node_modules folder with its tenths of thousands of files is killing my ssd!
as it is present in every node project I have, and consumes a gigantic number of io operations.
Thus I’m very glad that deno didn’t continue this tradition.

deno cache contains only the js files, and each one of them includes all its dependancies in the same file.
OTOH node modules contains every package in the dependency tree, and each package has many files not related to the required js file.
Why are people being so sensitive with hardware resource? Like how Electron is killing your machine...
And as mentioned in the article you repeatedly remove and recreate it to fix “problems”
Unless you're rewriting your node_modules every other minute on an old SSD I recommend finding something else to worry about.
