It's comical to me how poor packaging solutions are across distributions and languages. It's all just namespace management at slightly different levels.

Can anyone give me one good reason a programming language should bother with dependency management?

Nix has the right idea, but the execution is spotty and poorly documented IMO. Not to mention they have a serious problem with package naming, which strikes me as a glaring issue.
