Earlier this year, I started working on an idea that would make node_modules go away and, apart from making things fast, would change the very nature of package managers.

The project was announced today! https://blog.npmjs.org/post/178027064160/next-generation-package-management

That said, please direct qs and such elsewhere cause I'm still on vacay.

Next Generation Package Management

What if installs were so fast they could happen in the background, just by using Node? What every file in your dependencies could be guaranteed to be bit-by-bit identical to what’s on the registry?...
