Traditional package management systems for JavaScript have encountered various inefficiencies in dependency storage, resolution, and project performance. pnpm is a rapid, disk-efficient package manager for JavaScript and TypeScript projects, providing an alternative to npm and Yarn. With its efficiency and reliability, pnpm is becoming increasingly popular for managing monorepos and large-scale applications.
Zoltan Kochan, a full stack web developer and the creator of pnpm, joins the show with Josh Goldberg to discuss his background and package management in the web.
Josh Goldberg is an independent, full-time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem, working on projects that facilitate easier TypeScript development, notably typescript-eslint: the tool enabling ESLint and Prettier to function on TypeScript code. He regularly contributes to open source projects like ESLint and TypeScript and is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies. Josh authored “Learning TypeScript” (O’Reilly), a valuable resource for developers beginning with TypeScript. He often presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups about TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.
