Jails seems (to me) the most attractive feature in this package manager.

It's not feasible to believe we can just disable post-install scripts since so many older packages rely on these. Having them contained to avoid dubious scripts seems like the next best solution.

Would love to see rolling benchmarks on how this compares to - yarn 4 berry - yarn 6 rust rewrite (zpm) - pnpm 11 - pnpm 12 rust rewrite parquet

Benchmarks seem to be missing them at the moment, would be a useful thing to understand why I'd want Aube over others!

Thanks for adding more ideas into the space, love the work of mise!

aube was about 30% slower than pnpm in my testing on our hundreds-of-dependencies monorepo, but I'm giving it time and keeping a testing branch around. (hi jdx yes I am that guy.) Honestly this speaks to how good pnpm is more than saying aube can't get there.

I'm still opening pnpm-behavior bug reports against aube daily (boo) but they are getting fixed very quickly (yay). I'm really looking forward to seeing if it's worth rolling out once he catches up with the long tail of subtle behaviors we rely on.

Again, pnpm sets a high bar, so even if aube ends up getting faster, it's not a sure thing.

Seems kind of like uv but for node ?
