Tink: A Next Generation Package Manager
summary
tink is a package unwinder from npm that implements a virtual node_modules backed by a single global cache deduplicated at the file-hash level, lazy-fetching files on failing reads and auto-fetching missing pieces at runtime so you no longer run npm install. a prototype shows commands like tink shell/add/remove/unwind, per-file checksums, and a claimed 40% reduction in data transfer; planned integration as npm 8 and registry API changes are underway.
