In a way I'm glad it's not mentioned. As a FreeBSD user, nothing is more disheartening than to find a cool and interesting project written in a great^1 language without any packaging or distribution method other than "here's my container bruh". Like, ughh.

^1 Caveat, making a package of a Python project can be a rabbit hole can be a real pita. Virtual envs are usually good enough for most stuff until I start to need a compiler in every jail. Nowadays I'm looking almost only at Go (best) or Rust because their distribution is trivial in comparison.

I'm with you on pretty much all of what you've said. The _trivial distribution story_ is part of the reason I handed off maintenance of tmuxinator and started working on rmuxinator (spiritual successor written in Rust).

Otherwise, I often find myself needing to deploy Python/Node/Ruby at $WORK and I'd really rather not try to get a bunch of dev/prod machines (possibly running different OSes!) trying to use whatever the flavor of the day for managing virtual environments, interpreter versions, packages, etc. is.
