This is insanity and hubris.

"It's so easy!" yes if you have the language and tools de jour installed and up to date. I want none of that.

It was node and npm.

Then go.

Now Rust and cargo.

Oh, I forgot ruby.

And all this needs to be up to date or things break. (And if you do update them then things you are actively using will break.)

I don't need more tamagochis, in fact the less I have, the better.

What happened to .deb and .rpm files? Especially since these days you can have github actions or a gitlab pipeline packaging for you. I can't care less what language you are using, don't try to force it down my throat.
