You say "/s", but for some reason, many people still hold the sincere position that dependency management is something that can just be tacked on to a language as an afterthought.
- coldtea 8y agoOf course it can. npm, composer, etc all added it to their respective languages as afterthoughts, and many years (or decades even) after the language was out.
- al2o3cr 8y agoGiven the whole mjs-vs-js situation with npm, it's more of a counterexample for adding dependency management late.
- coldtea 8y agoThat's nothing really. They have to use 2 different suffixes to denote 2 kinds of files vs modules. Meanwhile millions of people use it for 10 or so years for all kinds of deployments. If only all languages had that unimportant problems.
