⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do so many programming languages have their own package manager?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Simplest answer: it enables programmers on any variation of an OS to get code. If I’ve got a python requirements.txt, getting those requirements installed is the same on any system I’ve got an appropriate python version. The designers of the languages effectively deemed that an important goal and explicitly put in the effort to include package management, in at least most of your listed cases.
