npm or yarn? ⚖️

For me the only advantage of yarn ist to support caching of modules / offline mode. Well... fair enough but no reason for me to switch. Maybe I'm lazy

Npm is faster.

Yarn++

@theKarlisK isn't it just apt now? Like apt install some-app?

Why would anyone want to build yarn in the first place

Npm, because yarn goes through FB proxy

Fuck js and especially node.js

@DrPitLazarus apt supposedly is an improved version, though i can't in what way whatsoever (except that it's shorter)

@Krokoklemme from what I've been told of handles dependencies "smarter" what ever they means

@polaroidkidd if by smarter they mean more confusing, then yes

@Cheeseypi soooo, what, Ruby? PHP? Java? Honestly, as a Java dev, getting NodeJS to work was surprisingly quick and easy. Ruby is dead, and PHP is, well, PHP.

@piehole I'm doing web dev right now, I work with js every day. I'd rather work with python server side because even though it's sloooooowwwww it's *sane*. Been meaning to learn go, I hear it's very good for server side dev. Client side, can't wait for webassembly to take hold.

@Cheeseypi Aaah, forgot about Python. I really dislike semantic spaces, so I actually really prefer JS over Python. I mean, to each their own of course.
