Is interesting that the package management advocated here is just the same thing, but offloaded to somebody else.
The BIGGEST problem with package management is not package management, is how easy is to publish it and the lack of verification for authors.
The proposed solution already use the practical solution: FRICTION and VALIDATION (by somebody else). (and lets add namespaces!)
A relatively easy way to solve this:
- Add namespaces by default, and LOCK the "main one".
- When a solid library emerge (like for example Tokio in Rust), you give it a star or similar saying: This guys are ok.
Split the package manager into 2 worlds: The walled garden and the chaos
- The walled garden requiere verification with some decent amount of friction and/or reputation (like check into GitHub?)
- The chaos is whatever.
- Link to walled garden is ok. Link to chaos requiere a "unsafe" parameter or similar.
P.D: Look like this sound like a good project to have (ie: A solid package manager manager!)
