With you on package management issues. The thing is modern devs just use a package for the simplest things just to feature load the code. Often you don't need all the functionality of the dependency. You'll probably use 0.1% of it. But javascript and rust repos dependency tree is extremely deep on average. This in fact _hurts_ maintainability as you need to manage this heavy, recursive dependency tree. Ultimately it's not hackable. You can't just change that function to print a warning, rather you have to edit an entire library and work through it's taxonomy. I'd note that Python is much better than others you list at this. Idiomatic python tends to be "batteries included" and shouldn't use too many dependencies other than those that are crucial to the project (ex Numpy). It's probably also because Python's package management story isn't as polished as others.
