[–] rothaine@lemmy.zip 14 points 11 months ago (2 children) People used to shit on npm all the time, and I believed them, because I didn't have experience with anything else. Then I tried pip. Holy...I had to beg npm forgiveness for ever doubting it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago Yeah. I mean, npm deserves some healthy fear/skepticism, but everything is relative. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tyler@programming.dev 8 points 11 months ago npm was bad, for a very long time. Then they fixed it, because they actually listened to other languages and did what they did. Python still refuses to do that. It’s quite insane because Ruby has had a solution for 15+ years at this point and Python could have directly copied it but refuses to. Python is absolutely the worst language I know of in regards to tooling. permalink fedilink source parent
