Yarn, npm v5 or pnpm — Who's Cooler?
summary
Compares package managers Yarn, npm v5 and pnpm by measuring install speed, lockfile formats/determinism, monorepo/workspace features, and disk usage. Notes npm v5 adds package-lock.json by default and npx but is often the slowest; Yarn provides workspaces, selective resolutions, lockfile auto-merge and interactive upgrades; pnpm uses hardlinks/symlinks and hoisting to save disk space and avoid long-path Windows problems.
