JS isn't perfect, but it's so much easier to deal with than Python in these regards.
- Tenoke 4y agoJs libs don't need to care for things like system packages and drivers as much as Python ML does.
- slumpa 4y agoEver tried running JS libs with C bindings? You're going to run into the exact same problems as you have running python code with C bindings.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoCommonJS vs ES6 module loading is already a nightmare.
- jeroenhd 4y agoI've had the exact same issues with the JS ecosystem (ran into a problem where npm wouldn't work but yarn did, still haven't figured out why). Both are easy and reliable with a few months of experience. Both are terrible if you rarely ever use them.
- rattray 4y agoThat's probably fair. I've found pyenv/venv/poetry/pipenv/pip/conda/etc more frustrating than ESM/CJS/yarn/npm/PNP/etc, but then I just do a lot less Python stuff than JS these days.
