On: Yarn – A new package manager for JavaScript

They should mention this at the very beginning. Multiple big players investing in this package manager means that we should maybe inspect a little bit more before chanting xkcd.com/927.

927 was also my first thought. But what made me to reconsider was not more than one big name behind it (but it helped), but the fact that they rely on npm backend and did not reinvent everything from scratch.

Basically, yarn is npm client done right reusing the same npm package repo.

npm on it's own is that bad - this is nothing less than water in the desert.

That deprives me of the fun of downvoting people mindlessly misusing xkcd.com/927.
