pnpm: Fast, disk space efficient package manager for JavaScript

Generally I've found sticking with npm to be best. It's not the super-slow thing that it was before, and I can't remember the last time a package didn't install because it wasn't compatible with npm.

I tried pnpm and it didn't just work, so I gave up. I would revisit it, but npm works.

These days I don't really see a reason to use yarn (but would like to hear them).

Yarn's workspaces provide some cool benefits to monorepos which AFAIK npm hasn't matched. You can get there with Lerna + npm, though.

I have so far had very good npm workspace experience. Just define "workspaces" property in package.json and your off. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/using-npm/workspaces

Right now only pain-point with npm is that "npm link" can't be forced to install peer dependencies so I'm unable to easily test typesscript built libraries within other projects.
