This got me thinking. I have been trying out this pattern of doing a `setup` script in projects. The idea being to run `node --run setup` when you clone down a project, and that script does your package manager install.
It is working great for me so far, and almost fully replaces what corepack did.

Be a help, not a hindrance.
I have been both at times (well I like to think I have been a help sometimes) and agree: most of the time you *shouldn't* write a new lib. Especially if there is an option to solve the problem with "a methodology".

one thing that's always put me off making a CSS library/framework over a methodology is I don't want to create problems for people with *my* way of doing things.
i've seen enough variation in *everything* in consultancy work to know I could never actually be a help and not a hinderance with a lib

AFAIK, there is work being done on removing corepack, so this might be the only option in the future (package managers building their own version management, that is).

When you face to manage a node.js project you should set a replicable environment, node version, package manager, etc.
For the node version, you can use nvm
But what about the package manager? Corepack will help you to solve that

It's unfortunate, but the Node.js TSC made this decision based on over two years of discussions, which are hard to summarize in 300 characters.
It's doesn't look like node will provide a corepack alternative in future. If not corepack, what's the tool that works for you?

Which tool do you use for managing your package manager version in a Node.js project? What do you like about it?
I'm gathering data on what corepack can learn from those tools.

Yeah so this was directly related to corepack, zsh and nvm.
My environment just went crazy, I think enabling corepack really mucked up my path.
Or maybe it was brew, I have no idea.
Either way, a day wasted 😕

RIP 2024年こそ corepack を使おうとしたら終わった
Node.jsのパッケージ管理ツール「corepack」がNode.jsから分離されることが決定した。
これにより、corepackはNode.jsにバンドルされなくなり、個別のプロジェクトで利用する際に、これまでのように簡単に使用できなくなる可能性がある。
corepackの分離により、npm、pnpm、yarnなど、どのパッケージマネージャーを使用するかという議論が再び活発化する見込みである。

Will Corepack keep existing "on its own"? or will they deprecate it?

But also I think that outcome would be superior than shipping corepack for it and forcing all PMs to adopt it. We always have to make tradeoffs, and frankly since the people involved would not come to the table for a discussion this sounds like the best option available.

Distributing corepack means aligning major releases, security releases and in general a lot of maintainance work that volunteers like me want to avoid.

NodeJS 16.9 (LTS in a month) adds Corepack.
Corepack prepares binaries of package manager (e.g. Yarn) to be used locally.
👍 Easier setup, no need to install global tools
👍 Easier maintenance, no need to ask people to upgrade their global tools

I'm grateful for this release. However it shouldn't have taken this long. We ended up having to migrate away from corepack as a result of this issue.
Idk whether or not @nodejs.org is still planning to remove corepack or not, but regardless we've reverted to installing @pnpm.io separately.

If 30% of Node.js users stated using Corepack in your surveys, EVEN THOUGH it's experimental, and EVEN THOUGH they need to explicitly enable it, and EVEN THOUGH it faced an impressive wave of FUD, it's probably that there's something that isn't achievable just by having a package on npm.
