A quick test shows this to be _much_ faster than NPM 2 (Browserify ~8s vs ~27s using NPM 2). I've been on the look out for a faster NPM given it takes 30m to install dependencies for an application I work on :(<p>Unfortunately IED (Soon to be renamed "NOM") doesn't support Git dependencies :(
It's nice that it takes some ideas from Nix, but it would even nicer if the time spent would go directly into Nix ;)<p>I'm considering switching to npm2nix and Nix for my projects, because I got burned by NPM far too often. Also Nix can be used for all software, not only NPM stuff. With NixOS it also ties a nice "package", haha
