Traditional JavaScript package management systems have encountered inefficiencies related to dependency storage, resolution, and project performance.
pnpm offers a fast, disk-efficient alternative for JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Its efficiency and reliability make it increasingly popular for managing monorepos and large-scale applications.
Zoltan Kochan, a full stack web developer and creator of pnpm, discusses his background and web package management with Josh Goldberg on the show.

Josh Goldberg, an independent full-time open source developer, contributes to the TypeScript ecosystem, including typescript-eslint. As a Microsoft MVP and author of Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), he is dedicated to helping developers master TypeScript. Josh frequently speaks at events on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and web development.
