I have? Pray tell.

Have what? Heavily invested in language you're building? I think that's a given.

Not clear-headed about this? https://old.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1nbkwzt/packag...

See counterpoint: hammers, freezers, cars, arrows, guns, bombs, planes, etc. Each of them *can* enable evil. Same way a package manager *can* enable sprawling dependency list.

You see you just completely missed my replies to that too.

> Let's put it this way, what does a package manager specifically (not the other distinctions I make in the article) do (other than enable bad laziness and lack of proper vetting) that is actually good?

		And you missed the retort to that reply as well. It's a force multiplier and a time saver. Same as with any tool. And to reply to your next post: `> Getting to hell quicker is not a good thing. "Emerge on the other side quickly", the other side is still hell, you haven't emerged out of it.` Remaining stuck in limbo forever is worse than going to hell faster :) At least in hell you have a decent company. I'd rather use a hammer even if there is a higher chance to smack my fingers than to have to hit a nail repeatedely with my head.
