Package managers be like

So you are saying that npm is better than pip?? I'm not saying pip is good, but npm?

NPM is ghastly though

npm is just plain up terrible. never worked for me first try without doing weird stuff

I don't know what cargo is, but npm is the second worst package manager I've ever used after nuget.

Memes like this make me ever more confused about my own software work flow. I'm in engineering so you can already guess my coding classes were pretty surface level at least at my uni and CC

Conda is what I like to use for data science but I still barely understand how to maintain a package manager. Im lowkey a bot when it comes to using non-GUI programs and tbh that paradigm shift has been hard after 18 years of no CLI usage.

The memes are pretty educational though

This is why I use poetry for python nowadays. Pip just feels like something ancient next to Cargo, Stack, Julia, npm, etc.

git pull

What about CPAN?

You can't even use it without the documentation of the program that you want to install because some dependencies have to be installed manually, and even then there's a chance of the installation not working because a unit test would fail.

i will get hated for this but: cargo > composer > pip > npm

What's so bad about pip? Imho, the venv thing is really nice

the only time i've had issues with pip is when using it to install the xonsh shell, but that's not really pip's fault since that's a very niche case and i wouldn't expect any language's package manager to handle installing something so fundamental anyways.

Bruh idk why the difference... Educate me?

The only thing I use pip for is to keep Proton-GE updated. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

npm bad, pnpm good.

No one here has yet complained about Cocoapods and Carthage? I'm traumatized. Thank God for SwiftPM

Getting into rust is still on my to-do list, otherwise I've no major problem with pip or npm. They both have their flaws, but both work well enough to do what I need them for. If I had to prefer one it would be pip simply to sustain my passionate hate for all things JavaScript.

Pip has a good looking loading thingy though.

NuGet (for C# / .NET) is far better than npm.

Fuck pip

all my homies use pdm

this is more abt programming languages than packages managers

So noone mentioned how awesome vcpkg is yet?

Bottom should be Composer.

I avoid NPM after node-ipc Ukrainian malware incident.
