npm, the Node package manager, can be incredibly disk-inefficient. pnpm was created to be (literally) a "performant npm" sometimes also called "painless npm".
The difference lies in each others' ability to store packages.
npm duplicates node_modules per project, resulting in a huge disk footprint, whereas pnpm uses a global store and stores links to the same, resulting in 70-90% space savings.
node_modules is a directory in a NodeJS project storing third-party libraries and dependencies.
