People hate on Gradle endlessly, but the fact that 99% of my JVM based applications can be successfully launched including entirely self-contained dependencies with

    ./gradlew run
is a huge boon and one of the things that keeps me sticking with the ecosystem.

You kind of mentioned this yourself already, but this boon is more of a feature of the JVM (the classpath) rather than the dependency manager.

If Python would have a similar concept rather than depending on a global module location we would be able to replicate the same developer ergonomics as we have for the JVM.
