Dependency management has to deal with the real world where what we didn't know in 1970 hurts us.

Dependency management has to deal with the real world where what we didn’t know in 1970 hurts us.

I'm having trouble understanding the point you're trying to make here. You seem to be angry at the Rust dependency manager for not being perfect, but also admit that it's better than C++. Is there some dependency manager you like more than what Rust provides? Do you have any suggestions for how Rust could improve its dependency management?

[-] bluGill@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

I said this is a hard problem and might not even be solvable.

rust is not better than C++ if you are in any of those cases where rust doesn't work. Not really worse, but not better either. If it works for you great, but it is worse for me as rust fight our homegrown system (which has a lot of warts )

So you're point is that your custom home grown workaround to a failure of C++ doesn't play well with Rusts official solution to the same problem? And therefore Rusts solution isn't better than C++ lack of a solution?

While that is unfortunate for you and you certainly seem to have tech-debted yourself into a particularly nasty corner, I'm not sure that logic follows.

Rust's package manager doesn't manage c++, python, or anything else. Since the real world should not be one language to rule them all any package system must handle all possible languages. Otherwist they are lacking.
