I just installed a project with pnpm about 120 packages mostly react/webpack/eslint/redux related

with prod env: 700MB

without prod env: 900MB

sadly the bloat cannot be avoided that well :/

pnpm stores them in a central place and symlinks them. You’ll see the benefits when you have multiple projects with a lot of the same packages.

You'll also see the benefit when `rm -rf`ing a `node_modules` and re-installing, as pnpm still has a local copy that it can re-link after validating its integrity.
