> TC39 is currently working on over 30 active proposals. What else does the future hold in store? These days we download our packages from npm.
I am surprised that no more mentions of NPM were made. I hope that commitee TC39 addresses the topic of NPM and tries to create a new version that is standarized and that elliminates the serious flaws of NPM, which for me are one of the major hindrances to adopting Node.js for things that go beyond prototyping.
Out of curiosity, have you seen the latest changes to npm? Since they've added lockfiles I've yet to have any issues with dependency management, really.
Googling on lockfiles i found out more about the features of the Yarn package manager. Perhaps that's what I should use.
However what i meant with my comment is that I feel that package managers should be standarized into a language -- as long as the package registry is not private but can be pointed to whatever URL one wants.
