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.

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.

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.
