Especially once you get into managing dependencies. Virtual environments (whatever this year's flavor is, venv I think?) are a mess. I was trying to get VS Code to execute a python project in its virtual environment but gave up and just went back to running it in a terminal. There's probably a way to do it, but I poked at it for a while and didn't figure it out.
Javascript might have its hassles, but even when you get to dealing with npm it's still more of a self contained thing.
- hackermailman 10y agoI replaced all that with guix environment https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes https://github.com/pjotrp/guix-notes it works well for Ruby too https://dthompson.us/ruby-on-guix.html https://dthompson.us/ruby-on-guix.html
- ferdterguson 10y agoI had the same struggles. Eventually I just went to pycharm, which is great and has full support for any environment you want.
