Wait: does c++ have a package manager like pip or npm or gem that I didn't know about?

There are file system packages (with __init__.py) and PyPI packages.

The former are an extremely poor version of Lisp packages, OCaml modules or C++ name spaces.

The latter are distribution packages (even for distribution packages C++ has Conan etc.).

PyPI packaging gets even worse than usual when attempting to distribute a file system package.
