I'm only familiar with Python, Javascript and Rust. It seems to me that Rust is the only one that has "solved" this problem.

I dont think there are any real Python devs who thinks dependency management is solved. However, why would you claim Javascript has a good solution? The inconsistencies between node and web dev is odd at best. Babel compilation is annoying and slow. Are we even standardized on webpack yet?

Can anyone say with a straight face that getting a new JS dev caught up on what all these different parts to compile a JS program is a solved problem?

I dont fault either Python or the JS ecosystems. As pioneers in dependency management, there was a lot of trial and error. New languages like Rust benefited from it and that's ok.
