Package managers be like

So you are saying that npm is better than pip?? I'm not saying pip is good, but npm?

npm is just plain up terrible. never worked for me first try without doing weird stuff

NPM is ghastly though

I don't know what cargo is, but npm is the second worst package manager I've ever used after nuget.

This is why I use poetry for python nowadays. Pip just feels like something ancient next to Cargo, Stack, Julia, npm, etc.

i will get hated for this but: cargo > composer > pip > npm

git pull

What about CPAN?

You can't even use it without the documentation of the program that you want to install because some dependencies have to be installed manually, and even then there's a chance of the installation not working because a unit test would fail.

What's so bad about pip? Imho, the venv thing is really nice

the only time i've had issues with pip is when using it to install the xonsh shell, but that's not really pip's fault since that's a very niche case and i wouldn't expect any language's package manager to handle installing something so fundamental anyways.

Bruh idk why the difference... Educate me?

No one here has yet complained about Cocoapods and Carthage? I'm traumatized. Thank God for SwiftPM

Getting into rust is still on my to-do list, otherwise I've no major problem with pip or npm. They both have their flaws, but both work well enough to do what I need them for. If I had to prefer one it would be pip simply to sustain my passionate hate for all things JavaScript.

npm bad, pnpm good.

Fuck pip

all my homies use pdm

NuGet (for C# / .NET) is far better than npm.

Pip has a good looking loading thingy though.

this is more abt programming languages than packages managers

Bottom should be Composer.

So noone mentioned how awesome vcpkg is yet?
