tea is amazing!
For a few months now, I have been using and integrating the tea CLI for an application development framework that I am authoring, called Stacks.js. I ended up choosing tea because it ended up being the most seamless (and cross-platform capable) dependency manager. Node, MySQL, Postgres, Redis, and much more are included natively.
(Amongst other things, it was a great excuse to remove the fnm and nvm dependencies.)
Good luck with all of it! 🎉
