All of my dependency management issues are handled by npm. The main problem `make` solved was not wasting work rebuilding dependencies that hadn't changed, but in 2023 on modern computers I don't notice the CPU cycles burned on that kind of thing. (... if I do start to notice them, I reach for a tool like bazel, because it can handle spaces in filenames).
