@uecker@mastodon.social @wolf480pl@mstdn.io @amonakov@mastodon.gamedev.place The system's putpose is what it does. Distro package managers do OK with C and are quite shit with anything else. You can of course try managing non-C things with it, but just like trying to manage non-Python things with Conda, it isn't a good experience.

This fracturing of dependency management has lead to way lower code reuse in C programs compared to other programming languages and is essentially only left for stuff that is "too big to not reuse". I don't think this is good.
