> C doesn’t have a dependency manager On the contrary it has many. My favorite is apt but maybe you prefer cargo or homebrew or rubygems.

  Huh? That doesn’t make sense. C absolutely does not have a dependency manager.
  • akdev1l 1y ago
    C the language doesn’t but if you’re truly writing a C program you’ll just default to using the platform’s package manager unless you have specific requirements So in that sense dnf/apt/zypper/pacman are all “C” package managers (not sure I agree with the OP but I think this is what they meant)

      What about projects like Conan and vcpkg?
      • akdev1l 1y ago
        I think technically those are targeted towards C++ but sure they probably work also It will likely have less packages than the other established ones though

    Which is a good thing because c is targeted at complex projects which often have more than one language and so a languare specific one is harmful.
