Short and straight to thr point!

[@b.bergeron8769]

That's kinda hard to believe... How is this not already in NPM? Using symlinks is an obvious optimisation trick a big project like NPM should have figured out a long time ago! This should be merged into NPM asap!

[@akhiltheloquacioussoul]

An informative video. Well explained. just a curious question, on an actual application code, is the storage difference significant? Is it commonly used for production and also test environments?

[@gidmanone]

what is the trade-off? why didn't npm adopt this? thanks

[@basarat]

On Production / Test runtime - No significant performance difference. Key use case is reduced dev setup / build time 🌹

[@basarat]

"why didn't npm adopt this" It still might. But didn't cause its a value add feature. There are rarely zero cost features, the cost here is code complexity maintained by the pnpm team

Thanks for your lessons you are amazing. One more thing I am not able to find your session on typescript congress conf. Can you share the link.

[@basarat]

I didn't do a session, as I do most of my content on KZbin. However I was a streaming partner, so hosted their live stream, in return for tickets to give away to my audience

[@sourishdutta9600]

@@basarat okay anyways waiting for your next lesson. Thank you 😊

The yarn does the same as pnpm right? I mean, about this feature. So can you do one "yarn vs pnpm" or when to use each.

[@basarat]

“Same?” Sadly no. Yarn does copy pasting (not symlinking)

[@rocstar3000]

@@basarat oh, I didn't knew that, I know that yarn does something with the cache, I thought that it was related to this feature of pnpm

[@rinatvaliullov3247]

Hi. Thank you for tuts. Could you speak a little slower, otherwise it is sometimes difficult to understand what is being said.

Speed is very okay with me. Although I fully understand this is subjective to the viewer. You can try to view at x 0.75 playback speed. But one could also argue that, I can listen at x 1.25 playback speed. Just felt I should point out that the speed is purely subjective
