In Julia, there is one package manager and it gets things right. https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/ It's super nice to have no fragmentation when it comes to packaging. In Pkg, package states are immutable, always reproducible, and quick. Julia packages that have binary dependencies usually build them all for every platform using the binary builder infrastructure (https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil). It makes cross platform installation robust and testable, and suuuper quick. Pkg really is the rolls royce of package managers.

I also like that package environments are integrated in Julia and thus there is only one way handle environments.
