I'm reading a page about Zig from the official documentation and it says:
> For C/C++ projects, having dependencies can be fatal, especially on Windows, where there is no package manager.
Which is doubly wrong. First there is an official package manager for Windows (winget), but there is also vcpkg, a package manager for C and C++ libraries, also developed by Microsoft.
Otherwise the language seems to have good design, so it's bit regretful to use strawman argument about package managers.
PS: the doc page is https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/ https://ziglang.org/learn/why_zig_rust_d_cpp/

On my linux server from operating system to thousands of utilities are packaged in native format and available via package manager like yum. On Windows forget dependency management etc not even basic installation of one percent of ecosystem is covered by package manger.
