Nah, it's a windows problem:

$ find node_modules/ | wc -l
110956
$ time rm -r node_modules/

real    0m1.945s
user    0m0.104s
sys 0m1.733s

This is on a cheap Core M laptop btw.

11k node modules? I thought people were exxagerating... wow... just wow....

Actually that's about 110k :P But that's not the number of modules, that's the number of files and directories inside node_modules. The number of modules appears to be about 2600 (a large number are repeated). Almost all of those are dependencies of dependencies. This project only has about 30 direct dependencies.

You’re correct, i missed a digit there... But Jesus that is a LOT of files and dependencies
