We need a better answer for this. Application programmers don't want to be stuck in the dark ages where packages in Cargo / pip / etc aren't available - or where all the packages you depend on have to be copied by hand into the system package managers (pkg/apt/rpm/etc). C and C++ deal with this by having dependency management be utterly horrible for application developers. You have to either vendor dependencies, or figure out how to find compatible versions of the packages you depend on on every system you want to support. (Ok, there's libsdl on ubuntu. On debian - oh, its a super old version. On redhat its split into multiple rpms. On macos? On freebsd? On windows? What about arch? Nix? Ok, next up - libpng. Oh no...) Of course perl devs want to use packages in CPAN. And of course rust devs want to use packages from Cargo. They're really good! And there's hundreds of tiny libraries which are way better than anything I'd write myself - from SIMD accelerated UTF8 validation, to serialization, arg parsing, network libraries, FFI for other languages, and so on. This stuff shouldn't be manually, partially mirrored in freebsd ports, apt and all the other places. Thats a ridiculous solution to a very real problem.
