Exactly. It's not just about the best solution to the problem, it's also heavily about the economics around it. If I wanted to create a new package manager today, I could get started by utilizing Git and existing git hosting solutions with very little effort, and effort translates to time, and time is a scarce resource. If you don't know whether your package manager will take off or not, it may not be the best use of your scarce resources to invest in a robust and optimized solution out of the gate. I wish that weren't the case, I would love to have an infinite amount of time, but wishing is not going to make it happen | ||
