> But, to answer your question: In general, every language has its own memory model. Maybe I'm very ignorant about something really important, but isn't this arguably irrelevant for a basic package manager functionality? What do package managers actually do? Isn't the core of it basically moving the asked-for collection of files into some standard accessible folder and then triggering the right events to install or process whatever needs to be installed in order to run a program if possible? Whenever you install a JavaScript library for example, npm copies 50,000 folders and files into some node_modules folder and then just updates a package listing. npm doesn't guarantee that any program you use that library in will actually run or be functional, after all. A universal package manager wouldn't have to force a Java library to run in a JavaScript project, but it could simply copy the files from that package manager and give you some configuration or other information needed to run Java if you so choose.
