also I just realized that Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish and call it “Si” and that my professor was making a joke about C… god damn it
this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol
These uh…aren’t issues you need to think about much.
I literally have to think about dependancies every time i install a python script in Debian. It always says its externally managed and use pipx. Then its not in pipx so i have to make a venv. Any other language i download and compile and it only cares about dependancies at build time.
Oh I’ll agree there: whoever designed the way python works on Linux distros seems to have been brain dead. I’m also cool with any devs who think they should make user dependencies require pipx or any of the 53 not-quite-pip variants getting shot – not dead, just like in their calves or something. Small caliber. If there isn’t a simple plain pip version it’s 50/50 whether the code is ever gonna work.
I’ll note that python also only cares about dependencies at build time.
There are tools which allow you to build your full application including dependencies into an executable file.
Those are issues I was forced to think about a lot…
