> I don't believe Zig wants to have "package manager" at all. ? it's literally one of the project's main milestones: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/projects?ty

  We're probably talking past one another due to my imprecision: Zig can manage packages. It can pull in a Zig package using a reference to a Git repository on GitHub, for example. It can pin that to a hash and cache it. It can specify dependencies. This is, strictly speaking, a "package manager" but is not what people normally think of when you mention that. Zig does not have blessed mechanisms that pull from a central repository of packages. Having a central repository is normally what people think of when they talk about a "package manager" (node, cargo, deno, etc.). Yes, those managers could conceivably not use the central repository and specify everything explicitly, but nobody ever uses them like that.

    So same as Golang? Still package manager though.
