What package managers do you actually use day to day in 2026?

by

Building dev tooling means picking what to support first. The "popular" answer is not always the real answer — npm is dominant by registry stats, but the developers I talk to are split across yarn, pnpm, bun, and uv depending on team and ecosystem. If you're up for sharing: — Primary package manager you reach for on a new project (npm, yarn, pnpm, bun, pip, uv, poetry, pipx, something else) — Whether that's the same one your team standardizes on, or just your personal preference — Has anything moved in the last 12 months? bun went from "interesting" to "actually shipping" pretty fast, uv similarly on the Python side Building a tool that hooks into all of these (launching tomorrow— Veln) and the assumption I went in with was npm/pnpm dominant on JS, uv eating into pip on Python. Curious whether that matches reality or whether I should be weighting differently.
