Language exclusive package managers like this are nightmares for security, but npm simply does things so poorly I feel like they wanted something insecure.

What about language exclusivity makes a package manager a security nightmare?
Now I have to wonder if someone is targeting Homebrew too, thanks
That isn't a language exclusive package manager. I mean things like npm and pip. It isn't necessarily that they're language exclusive, it's that they all tend to have features that aren't good security wise because they aid in developing in that language
