Dependency management in C is the hell that you and your dependency make it, alone. You can try to copy a .a file and a directory of headers into your project, or you can try to make a massive graph of 1000 dependencies that needs a SAT solver to untangle. Dependencies are hell in JavaScript, Haskell, and Python too, but you don't notice because the computer works through the most common hells automatically... so developers don't hesitate to create hells. In C, they hesitate.
