    I was poking at the Node contrib. I know that "Utility is still limited right now." but is it something that is used for production code?

    not always during the compile/edit/debug cycle, but for ci coverage of tests

    The compile/edit/debug seems to do an npm install each time you change a source file. I think if that was somehow worked around it would be a super useful way to do compile/edit/test.

    I've been thinking about poking into it to try to sharpen my skills doing pants plugin dev. 🙂 Never tried before.

    The use of NPM still is like the use of ivy? Only python has a python external dependency resolver?

    Pants seems to use it to run the base script (e.g., 
    npm run <script>
    ). This means that if you change your code it has to be re-npm-installed in order to work. This can be kind of annoying.

    hm, they're all pretty similar really. they're all external resolvers.

    But getting it to work "in place" sounds kind of hard. Node does deps in a crazy way.

    And by crazy I mean "maybe better" depending on your perspective.

    but as of npm 2 when the support was first implemented, it was challenging to actually share structure between the targets

    npm 3 got "better", and 4 also improves things

    But I'm still new to node and am not sure which crazy come from Node vs incidental npm conventions

    and facebook has an external package manager (yarn) that seems to do things very much in alignment with monorepos and frozen deps

    we use a webpack plugin that caches the resolve

    heavily consumes the pants node plugin, which does almost all the work

    Our plugin is...okay. It is smart about something, and not as smart as the Pants node plugin about some others

    ah, interesting. This is a different plugin than the one in contrib?
