Is anyone using conda to manage environments with versions of other languages/runtimes? For a while, I was using it to maintain different nodejs and ruby runtimes and package-sets, but stopped around node 6.6.0, mostly because I never got efficient enough at creating packages to create conda packages for different ruby or packages other than the interpreters themselves. If anyone feels like it, you can run `conda create name=trycondanode --channel amfarrell nodejs=6.6.0`

Have tried for C, C++, Fortran, Julia, and a bit of R. Too many pythonisms (and requiring a fairly heavyweight miniconda setup to run) for it to work naturally when you actively don't want to be using any python. I think the lackluster adoption by any other communities is evidence of "language independence" not working out as smoothly as claimed.
