Unfortunately the idea that a new language meant for widespread use can ship without its own package management systems is even more broken. Generally languages need a good tool to allow (nested) dependencies that has a simple (preferably d

There's no good evidence for a massive famine due to the dust bowl people lost their saving but few people died. A famine is different from a crop failure. Crop failures can help cause famines,but typically famines happen because polit
