Volta

JavaScript tool manager in Rust

About Volta

At its core, Volta is a JavaScript tool manager that pins Node and package manager versions per project automatically. What sets it apart is that built in Rust, it switches versions transparently when moving between projects. For developers, the appeal is simple: less infrastructure busywork, faster feedback and tooling that fits into existing workflows instead of replacing them wholesale.
