A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

so a bit more about the npm versions: <https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning>

`^`  prefix defines the version range to be minor releases
so `1` or `1.x` or `^1.0.4`

i am a fan of the `.x` syntax as that will work out of the box with version sorting
we need to add some specialcasing and ignore the first character if it is `~` or `^`

 as for conflicts..
they get resolved by having copies
so `^` is a compromise between having mostlikely binary compatible code and not downloading the same dependency more than once
