This looks nice, something I would have really appreciated way back when I used to use C and C++. In the 1980s, my “package management” was a huge collection of file lists with descriptions for public FTP sites, grab relevant source code as needed…

I like the side conversation here about Nix. I have not tried Nix in its own, but when I used to use non-M1 Macs, I had NixOS running in VirtualBox.

I may be wrong about this, but I love the huge variety in programming languages, operating systems, package managers, development tools, etc. A world with a tech monoculture would be boring.
