Call me old fashioned, but I find it annoying that every new language nowadays seems to want to pull in its own package manager, redundantly parallel to the perfectly good one my operating system provides. I am already perfectly fine with installing my software through apt-get. Why oh why do I need pip, and gem, and npm, and CocoaPods, and cargo, and NuGet, and on and on and on...

Using a new language is no longer a matter of cracking open a book, installing a compiler, and firing up vim. You've got to change your whole lifestyle now.
