I found Perl suffered from dependency issues as well. Not the language but the modules you tend to want to use. Especially when they're underpinned by c libraries. I'd preference operating system libraries then fall back to Cpan. Over time it got harder to maintain older applications as the libraries dropped out of repositories. Have you found anything similar?
- forgotmypw17 4y agoYou're right, and this is why I don't use third-party modules. If I need something I can't write myself, I use the shell version instead of a module.
- scoopertrooper 4y agoSeems like you're jumping through a like of hoops to write thing in a Java-like fashion when you could be using Java, which has a much healthier ecosystem.
- forgotmypw17 4y agoJava has many other shortcomings which keep me from using it.
- readme 4y agopython also has this problem
