The more I see package systems that don't work the more I think Java from all the criticism got it right. Between always enforcing backward compatibility to being explicit about where to look for dependencies everything just works. Of course you still have problems on how to declare those dependencies and resolve upgrades but a code you compiled 10 years ago will probably still work today. Compare that to Python or even worse nodejs and it's bonkers the amount of context you have to be aware of just to make your code that worked fine 2 years ago build again on the current tool chain. edit: typos
