I don't find myself patching stuff all the time, and would hate to go back to half-assed leaky-abstraction kludges like Ansible.
But I do agree we need to deal with the language-based packaging situation much better. It's a long-standing project of mine to fix that.

- Ericson2314 6y agoThose are kludges, but they are nicely confined to build time. The deployed system is very easy to reason about, which I greatly appreciate with my laptop and production environments. (In addition to trying to support the language-based ecosystems better, I also want to reduce the things we do in bash. I think those are complimentary goals, too.)
