npm is broke, though. Better to have a replacement ready for when they finally go bang under the pressure of venture capitalism.

That's what I was about to say, that the current state of JavaScript package management is "broken" in certain aspects. The dependency on a private organization for open-source packages makes no sense.

I think it's a healthy sign that we're starting to see more npm alternatives, decentralized package management protocol/standards. After some churn, may the best ideas win!
