For all the complaints I hear about JS/npm, it's been so much less of a hassle than Gradle configs, Gemfiles, Composer files, and whatever python has going on.
I don't know how I'd feel about poetry being part of pip. Didn't poetry just push out a change where they deciding randomly failing 5% of the time while running in a CI env was a good idea?
The Python ecosystem is a bit of a disaster. There are many useful packages and programs written in Python, but they're legit scary to install. I always search for Go or JS alternatives if they're available to avoid all the python headaches.
Every time I need to interact with Python, I find myself banging my head trying to figure out eggs vs wheels vs distutils vs setuptools vs easyinstall vs pip vs pip3 vs /usr/bin/pip3 vs /opt/homebrew/bin/pip3 vs pip3.7 vs pip3.8 vs pipx vs pip-tools vs poetry vs pyenv vs pipenv vs virtualenv vs venv vs conda vs anaconda vs miniconda.
