You're right, Python's ecosystem and dependency management is a shitshow and everybody involved should be ashamed of themselves. But of course there are many "you're holding it wrong" commenters here who are in denial of this fact. It's an absolute pity that Python has become the de-facto language for public ML projects.

Have you ever read about how open source project leaders often experience a lot of toxicity and anxiety about trying to keep up with the users they are supporting for free? If not, I suggest you do since this is the exact type of comment that is hurtful and unhelpful.

You both seem right. While the base criticism is correct, the emotion attached to it is only an impediment. Python+ML seems apparently in a "move fast and break things" phase. We should expect rough edges and be calm if we're to address that well.

I agree with the person I'm responding to 100% on the technical merits.
