> And yes, a language with an ill-defined concept of a package in the language itself is a problem of the language, but the package managers are not making it any better. If a language does not provide a definition of a package but a package manager _does_, then I would say that that package manager did make that aspect of the problem better. | ||

It makes it worse in my opinion, not better. Because it leads to the problem that other package managers don't agree on what a package is, and it might even lead to the need for an external build system to co-ordinate all of it too. It's a never-ending problem, and is now even worse. | ||

And if the language does provide the definition? |
