What does this feature have to do with programming languages? Why do I need one dependency tracking tool for Rust, a separate one for Go, a separate one for JavaScript, etc?

I already have a dependency management tool for C++; it is called the Ubuntu package repositories. I don’t need another one baked into the language.

Ubuntu and other OS package managers are years out of date and they are at the wrong layer for serious projects because they are OS layer so not good for hermetic builds on build servers.
