Please, no. Node tooling is such a mess and I can almost never get anything running easily on Nix because Node developers download binaries from the internet without understanding the system. All of these executables fail because of linked libraries. If instead they told you what libraries and executables you'd need instead loosy-goosy installing garbage all over my system, more things might work.


Sure npm is not silver bullet. But I want the npm experience. Technical implementation can be improved as you say and I agree.


Then you should be a fan of Nix
