On that note, I wonder why no one has tried to do packaging right, like really right, and then make it avaialble as a system for multiple languages. Someone should get on that. And I don't mean yum/apt/etc I mean like a universal package format for programming language packages with all the best bells and whistles, so fledgling languages can have a mature package system at their inception by simply linking with a C API.
