• pkg:logger
• pkg:read

Problem

Recently, the Ecosystem Performance was formed to cleanup, speedup, levelup the JavaScript Ecosystem.
Socket Security team wrote a blog post about it https://socket.dev/blog/javascript-community-launches-e18e-initiative-to-improve-ecosystem-performance

On the e18e cleanup channel on Discord, multiple solutions are being discussed. One of them is to replace chalk with picocolors.

I see that changesets uses chalk:

• changesets/packages/read/package.json

  Line 27 in b593756

  "chalk": "^2.1.0",

• changesets/packages/logger/package.json

  Line 22 in b593756

  "chalk": "^2.1.0"

• changesets/packages/cli/package.json

  Line 87 in b593756

  "chalk": "^2.1.0",

• changesets/packages/get-dependents-graph/package.json

  Line 24 in b593756

  "chalk": "^2.1.0",

Proposed solution

Replace chalk with a lighter alternative, like picocolors.
