Yes with the —isolated flag it will mimic the pnpm way of installing node modules.
But more generally node modules are hardlinked on windows / linux and reflinked on macos anyway, so disk space should be preserved no matter the install strategy.
This week I made hyperactiv, a super small reactive library written in less than 120 lines of code.
Basically hyperactiv observes object mutations and computes functions depending on those changes.
The key point is that the library is smart enough to remember the dependencies, meaning that you never have to specifiy which function depends on which observed property.
A typical use case would be to create a smart reactive store which re-renders your web framework components when needed. For React, a small wrapper takes only 18 additional lines of code.
I used CoffeeScript for personal projects and absolutely loved the syntax.
Wasn't able to promote it at work though, because of the lack of support at that time (it felt kinda rusty, most 3rd party libraries were deprecated, and no jsx).
Glad to see things are changing, the new release looks great !
