I would like to get it in as a more sane (not by much) alternative to npm. I have a yet to be submitted version that fixes an issue people reported back. I'll send it of tonight some time (along with a node update). > I found this mail because I wanted to see if porting VS Code was > possible and how much work would require. > TL;DR: VS Code uses Yarn to install. It might be worth checking in with bcallah@, I know he was also working on a port of it.

The only way to do it sanely is to vendor the 'node_modules' directories with everything. Having a port per module (yarn, npm or otherwise) is completely untenable. > > Cheers. > Elias mariani@ > > On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 2:15 PM Aaron Bieber <aa...@bolddaemon.com> wrote: > > > > Hi! > > > > This is a port of yarn.
