- jrochkind1 5y agoI haven't heard much from him lately not sure what he's up to. I'd love to see an interview with him on his experiences with dependency management. What did he learn? What things in earlier attempts did he change in later attempts (from bundler to cargo to yarn)? What does he think he got rightest? What mistakes does he think he made? What mistakes does he think other people are still making? What features of a language or platform faciliate or challenge good dependency management? etc etc etc. In general, I think there isn't much "learning from prior art" in our field that crosses language/platform boundaries. Katz being personally driving the implementing popular dependency management solutions on three different langauges/platforms was one way to actually learn from cross-language experience! I think in dependency management in particular, there are still a lot of lessons people are learning on their own not realizing another language/platform already learned some painful lessons on it... or maybe differences in langauges/platform mean some things aren't transferable...
