2025-02-27

The JavaScript package management landscape is undergoing a significant disruption. While npm remains the de facto standard, new entrants like Deno's JSR and vlt's vsr are challenging its dominance.

Both leverage deep roots in the Node.js and npm ecosystem, highlighting growing developer dissatisfaction with npm's shortcomings, including security concerns and developer experience. Although compatible with npm, their ability to displace npm's market leadership remains to be seen.
