package managers are relatively easy to put together and release with your language—provided that you want your new package manager and surrounding ecosystem to work exactly the same as other, popular ones, without putting any effort into improving the status quo. doing better than other languages' package managers takes significant effort, because it's both a computer engineering problem and a social engineering problem. it's nice when a new language has a package manager right out of the gate, but I would like to see more new languages take a more measured approach and aim to significantly improve upon past efforts, instead of merely replicating them out of some sense of obligation.
