I guess I don’t understand this obsession with speed? I work in development but I have never ran into a build that’s so slow that it impacts my work. Why is Node considered so bad that everyone wants to make is faster?
You’ve never had an issue with how slow npm installs?
I'm with the parent poster. How often is it hindering your work?
It's at tops, a 15-30 second wait, usually done at the start of the project.
I'm a unique use ase, where I have about 10 projects (because microservices) that I'd have to npm install, and it's still not a pain to install them.
Are people running npm install dozens of times a week on the same project? Because why?
I'm not shitting on Bun. I'm actually supporting it's growth. But until it solves some real performance bottlenecks, (switching from gulp/webpack to vite changed our compiling time from 18 seconds to 2 seconds), I can't see any reason for people to change their workflow.
Hmm, npm can take up to five minutes for me. I usually just leave it alone and go do other stuff. And I have fiber internet, so it’s not download speed that’s the problem.
