Guess you never had to fight luarocks then. Everything’s easy when you don’t need to pull in any dependency (which is the case for the most common Lua use cases: host application provides helpers the best they can, you write your own code for everything else). Hell, C’s package management is great if you have nothing to manage.

The first and foremost reason for the complexity of Python’s dependency story is that it’s powerful and people use it a lot.
