I see a tree of categories in triton. @Ericson2314 is this a past thing?

Ericson2314 commented 1 year ago

@roberth yeah I think that is packages that never got moved. They do flatten things.

I used this style for splitting up "unscoped" NPM packages ( e.g. "lodash" -> unscoped/l/lodash, "@foo/bar" -> foo/bar ).

This resolved my issues with GutHub's web interface.

One notable edge case I encountered was that you need to use lib.toLower when creating the substring. Otherwise you'll get inconsistency between Linux and Darwin which is case insensitive with filenames.

Let's only link to related work if they did like a benchmark which influenced our decision.
