No, just no. All of them are complete, utter crap that doesn’t hold a candle to languages that were designed with packages in mind. We’re using Conan at work, I’ve been using vcpkg at home and I loathe both.
> I mean, do you really think Python's package management is top notch? You do? Why are there like 10 package managers then?
Worst Python package manager runs circles around whatever C++ offers.
- synergy20 2y agowhat's wrong with vcpkg? looks good to me
- Philpax 2y agoI don't think we need to pretend Python package management is good to contrast C++, they're both awful for different reasons. At least there's maybe a way out for Python (uv / the various PIPs); C++ doesn't appear to have any kind of plan whatsoever, outside of gesturing in the direction of modules.
