npm is the only dependency manager I have that’ll kick the system fans on when I tell it to install project dependencies.

@mjgardner Thanks, but I’m good. For seconds, I don’t think of npm as an aspirational target. I get less crankiness from my system compiling a fair-sized Crystal or Rust project.
