Conda is so so bad. But trying to explain why to people who have fallen into it’s trap is difficult. People don’t realize the packages are not signed on enough information to reproduce them. The optimizer to find matching versions to make an environment that satisfies your constraints is really bad idea.
As an experienced C++ developer unfortunately and fortunately I’ve concluded the most “correct” solution is to use nixpkgs.
- dventimi 4y agoWhat's a good alternative? No, really. Conda has caused me so much pain.
- alchemist1e9 4y agoAs I mentioned I’ve settled on Nix with nixpkgs however it’s got a steep learning curve and really isn’t appropriate for anyone but fairly experienced unix hackers. It’s a problem.
