Traditional package management systems for JavaScript have faced several inefficiencies related to dependency storage, resolution, and project performance.

PNPM is a fast, disk-efficient package manager for JavaScript and TypeScript projects, serving as an alternative to NPM and Yarn.

Due to its efficiency and reliability, PNPM is increasingly popular for managing

mono-repo's and large-scale applications. Zoltan Kocon is a full-stack web developer and the creator

of PNPM. He joins the show with Josh Goldberg to talk about his background and package management

in the web ecosystem. This episode is hosted by Josh Goldberg to talk about his background and package management in the web ecosystem.

This episode is hosted by Josh Goldberg, an independent full-time open-source developer.

Josh works on projects in the TypeScript ecosystem, most notably TypeScript ES Slint, the tooling

that enables ES Slint and prettier to run on TypeScript code.

Josh is also the author of the O'Reilly Learning TypeScript book, a Microsoft MVP for developer

technologies, and a live code streamer on Twitch. Find Josh on Blue Sky, Mastodon, Twitter, Twitch,

YouTube, and dot com as Joshua K. Goldberg.

Zoltan, welcome to Software Engineering Daily.
