Python was released in 1991. It obviously didn’t get package management right, just like C and C++ didn’t figure it out in the 70s.

Take a look at rust’s Cargo for what a modern package manager should look like. Or deno / Go if you swing that way.

Which old language gets package management right? None of them. None of them get it right.

And sure - conda / venv / CMake / etc help. But last century’s bad design decisions still shine through.
