He's somewhat against package managers (doesn't want Odin ecosystem turning into NPM or Crates.io where a single package draws in a thousand dependencies).
But yeah, Odin's LSP is used by most Odin users, including staff at JangaFX.
- FullGarden_S 2y ago>He's somewhat against package managers yes and that is a design decision. Its not just the dependencies bloatware, there is also an issue of accidentally pulling in a GLP license code base and several others. But if one wishes to make a package manager for Odin, they can do so and other Odin users may use it if they found it to be really helpful but from what I know, Ginger Bill will never officially support it as it doesn't align with his vision of the language.
- gingerBill 2y agoThere is nothing in the design of Odin that prevents a package manager from being created, in fact quite the opposite. The decision, which is not design per se, is to not have an OFFICIAL package manager, nor even endorse a third party one.
