But yeah, it could get expensive to keep the indexes current as things grow.
- rockwotj 6y agoYeah but you also have to understand the dependency management systems for every open source project on GitHub to get the right dependency, which is a sisyphean task. Google has the advantage there is only one way to build stuff.
- cobbzilla 6y agoThere are only so many package managers out there. Most languages have a "preferred" one which makes things even easier. Stuff built with ad-hoc systems might be more difficult, but I don't think that's the norm.
