Npm version 5.7.0 blew away a bunch of production servers

See, not even two weeks ago I came here and I said "Is there ANYTHING I can use other than npm for package management in JavaScript?" My question came about because I had just discovered that it was being run by Anti-Trump SJW twats and these people ruin everything they come in contact with.

Apparently it's recursively navigating around your filesystem and fucking with folder permissions when you run it in sudo.

You can use yarn, like you should have been already because npm is a notorious piece of shit.

Yarn has the exact same code of conduct bullshit that npm does they're both pieces of shit managed by retards, and yarn uses npm. While I've come to the conclusion that I won't be able to find something that doesn't use npm, I would like to switch to something other than the npm cli and am looking.

Currently mulling over pnpm.
