Read Original

The article details an investigation into why modern JavaScript package managers like bun and pnpm are faster than traditional ones. The author built a custom package manager called 'caladan' to understand performance challenges, benchmarks it against bun's cold install times, and analyzes the results, discussing factors like network, disk I/O, and system call overhead.
