Fast, disk space efficient package manager. pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage. Files inside node_modules are cloned or hard-linked from a single content-addressable storage. pnpm has built-in support for multiple packages in a repository. pnpm creates a non-flat node_modules by default, so code has no access to arbitrary packages.

npminstall is an alternative package installation tool designed for faster and more efficient npm dependency management. Developed by the CNPM team, it focuses on reducing disk usage and improving installation speed, particularly for large projects.

AutoPkg is a system that automatically prepares software for distribution to managed clients. Recipes allow you to specify a series of simple actions which combined together can perform complex tasks, similar to Automator workflows or Unix pipes.

Orogene is a next-generation package manager designed for Node.js environments, focusing on speed, efficiency, and seamless integration with tools that utilize node_modules/, such as bundlers and CLI applications. It employs a central store for dependencies, deduplicates packages, and leverages copy-on-write techniques on supported filesystems to minimize disk usage and accelerate loading times. Orogene aims to provide a robust and user-friendly experience, ensuring that developers can manage their Node.js dependencies with minimal hassle. ​

Ultra is a modern, high-performance package manager designed as an alternative to npm, Yarn, and pnpm. It focuses on speed, efficiency, and security while improving dependency management.

...Note that dep requires a functioning Go workspace and GOPATH. Dep is centered around the idea of the "four state system" - a model for classifying and organizing the on-disk state with which a package manager interacts. This was first articulated as a coherent, general model in this (long) article, though many of the principles in the four state model were derived from existing package managers.
