I guess a killer feature would be an integrated "package" manager like .NET's NuGet. Being able to easily "import" C dependencies that way, along with other projects written in Muon could make life much easier. I'm thinking like Rust's Cargo, but without the nonsense of having to build all the dependencies oneself which takes time and storage space - just using a pre-built versioned release would make a massive difference to workflows and reduce friction. Is anything like this in the works/on the roadmap? (I didn't see it but maybe I just missed it, while browsing on mobile ;))

Short term, I have some tools planned for automatic generation of foreign function definitions based on .h files (currently you have to do this by hand, which is tedious and also somewhat error prone). Long term, I agree that a package/dependency manager would be great! There's already so much work to do though, so this will unfortunately be out of scope for the near future.

  Understood, thanks :) it'd be great to have an issue on GitHub I could subscribe to for notifying me when your auto FFI generation tool is ready, it would give me a greater incentive to try Muon ;)
