.hg i would like to see an article on /why/ language-specific package managers (cargo, pip, gem, go, etc) are Considered Harmful, and what we can do about it, instead of just complaining that things aren't just make(1) on top of cc(1) anymore

@moonbolt The complaints I saw had ~nothing to do with how complicated building is, but with things like dependencies between packages from language-specific pms and distro pm, different expectations on the number of eyes that have glanced at the new version before it's considered canonical, and lack of ability to "just update everything in my system".
If you'd be using them just for dev environments, then the last point is irrelevant, and the first one is much weaker.
