Python has other stupid problems related to pip. As much as stupid micro-dependencies suck in Javascript, they're not the shitshow managing dependencies in Python is. It's an inefficiency that never actually caused me noticeable issues in my former webdev life.
And let's not talk about C++... People reinvent all sorts of wheels all the time because sharing anything is so annoying.
Don't worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.
Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.
I don't think there's a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I've generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.
lol just use a virtual environment, it's the default now anyways
I know it is, and I find it to be a pretty ridiculously complex fix for a self-inflicted wound.
The disruption it's caused me outweighs by far any minor inconvenience with the multiplication or micro packages in the NodeJS world. There's that, and the Python 2 vs 3 shitshow from which the world still hasn't fully recovered from yet.
I mean it: Python has no business laughing at Javascript. Get your act together, snek 😜
