compare npm / yarn / parcel #127

Check if yarn has any advantages over npm (in current versions) and compare it with parcel which seems to be quite interesting. If there's an alternative superior to npm, switch tools.

Parcel is a bundler, not a package manager. I just switched from Webpack to Rollup in v0.7.0 so this thing is done. Parcel is good for small packages and its easy to use but I needed support for ES6 modules, good library support and other things so Rollup was a good choice.

Yarn is an alternative client to the npm database. Yarn seems to be more modern with a streamlined interface but npm catched up with the latest releases. Since I'm used to npm I'll keep with it.
