I’ve used pnpm religiously for over a year and have seen it being adopted as a golden standard replacement for npm in my circles. Highly recommend it to anyone who works with JavaScript or Typescript!

But why? Ok it is faster and save storage. Is that really a huge problem?

https://pnpm.io/ it ships with Node.js along side npm and yarn these days, has for about a year I believe.

What's your source on pnpm/yarn shipping with node? It doesn't in my experience.

`corepack enable`

https://nodejs.org/api/corepack.html

The caveat here is that the binaries aren't "shipped" with node.

`corepack enable` adds shim scripts to node's $PATH to intercept calls to `npm` `yarn` or `pnpm` and downloads the binaries from a URL without much checking along the way. This functionality has had some vocal opposition.

It's a replacement for NPM and YARN. Never used it myself.
