Ask HN: Why does every package+module system become a Rube Goldberg machine?
Have you used Go or Rust package ecosystems?<p>My experience is that the older gen languages you mention had to invent package management, made lots of understandable mistakes and now are in a backwards compat hellscape.<p>Rust and Go built their packaging story with the benefit of lessons learned from those other systems, and in my experience the difference is night and day.
