Seems kind of like uv but for node ?

Would love to see rolling benchmarks on how this compares to - yarn 4 berry - yarn 6 rust rewrite (zpm) - pnpm 11 - pnpm 12 rust rewrite parquet Benchmarks seem to be missing them at the moment, would be a useful thing to understand why I'd want Aube over others! Thanks for adding more ideas into the space, love the work of mise!

Jails seems (to me) the most attractive feature in this package manager. It's not feasible to believe we can just disable post-install scripts since so many older packages rely on these. Having them contained to avoid dubious scripts seems like the next best solution.
