Re Python: pretty much :| My personal favorite is that, because of this behavior, you can install a single top-level package into a fresh virtualenv and get invalid transitive dependencies. Both in theory and in practice. If you ever get back into Pythonlandia, do check out pip-compile - it's a properly sane package manager, following the normal SAT solving path. Major lifesaver, 100% recommended. I enjoy the language well enough - it's readable and expressive. But it's so terrible for building a business on top of, and that's largely due to the ecosystem.
