Why Choose pnpm as the Standard for Dependency Management in Projects?

[hanpham32]

I'm curious why does eliza prefer pnpm over package managers like bun? Are there specific reasons or advantages with pnpm in projects?

While pnpm excels in efficient dependency management and disk space usage with its global store and deterministic installs, making it ideal for large-scale projects or monorepos, bun focuses on being an all-in-one, ultra-fast tool that combines package management, bundling, and transpiling, making it a great choice for developers prioritizing speed and simplicity. However, pnpm has broader adoption and stronger support for complex dependency trees, whereas bun is still evolving and may not yet offer the same level of ecosystem compatibility.
