What's Next for npm
summary
npm is positioning concrete changes: npm 7 ships with Node 15 and brings workspaces, package-lock v2, rewritten npx (now npm exec), and a security prompt for running binaries. Registry scale is explicit — 1.3 million packages and ~75 billion downloads a month. Dependency behavior changes are specific: peer deps installed by default with --force and legacy flags to opt out. New features include install from GitHub PR, package exports, package overrides, a public roadmap repo, and a feedback repo; npm 7 is released now with LTS and stability work planned.
