I went back to composer for a bit recently (PHP), and I was baffled when my install command did nothing other than install exactly the packages I’d specified. When I ran update, it didn’t modify any of my files, but went to the latest version matching the restrictions I’d specified in composer.json.

Such a breath of fresh air…

very much the opposite of my experience. i'd gladly have 30 copies of left-pad living in my project rent free if it meant i never had to see "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages" ever again.

Until it breaks on a fresh install? Reproducibility is a must.
