I would say that it's not just a Python problem, Node.js or Ruby seems to have almost the same problems. I'd say Docker exists because packaging C/C++ dependencies is an impossible problem that hasn't been solved in 5 decades. The build tools absolutely suck.
- sitkack 2y agoIt isn't just the build tools, Unix as the platform for Worse Is Better, has decided to never solve this problem. Docker solves the problem of a having an under powered broken dynamic linker. Docker should have never been necessary.

- forrestthewoods 2y ago> because packaging C/C++ dependencies is an impossible problem that hasn't been solved in 5 decades C/C++ build systems suck. But deploying a C++ program is much much easier than Python. And Linux is waaaay worse than Windows for both building and deploying imho.
