Dear Programming Language dev teams,

If your language has a package manager,

it NEEDS to be as fully-featured and easy-to-use as apt.

No more "use the website to search for packages"
No more "it installs, but not upgrades or uninstalls"
No more "Ok, it installs, but it isn't necessarily fully functional"
No more "It installs, but you need arcane options for the upgrade to function."

MAKE IT AS EASY AS APT,
Or don't release a package manager.

</rant>, a.k.a. Fin.

Merci.
