Package size seems big

The version of ESLint you are using. 6.8.0

The problem you want to solve. The package install size of eslint weighs 16.3MB: https://packagephobia.now.sh/result?p=eslint

This seems quite a lot and decreasing this would benefit initial install times among other things. Might be some (better) other opportunities to decrease this size.

Your take on the correct solution to problem. Seems mainly because of rxjs adding 17MB (locally for me eslint weighs 39MB) which is used by inquirer. Replacing inquirer with enquirer would shave off about half the the package size.

inquirer: enquirer:

Added benefit would be improving the start up time (module load time):

enquirer: 4.013ms
inquirer: 286.717ms

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this change? Yes.

I’ll champion this.

He assigned the issue to himself as the team champion to indicate his enthusiastic support, not necessarily to say he will implement it. We would still appreciate you opening a PR for this as our backlog is quite large and otherwise this may sit for a while.
