webpack is arguably the most popular bundler right now and this is the first major release in over two years.

With millions of users, resulting in 75 billion package downloads per month, npm has undoubtedly been a huge success and npm 7 is now here (and will also come with Node.js 15.0 next week). Key features include workspaces, installation of peer dependencies, and support for yarn.lock.
