People are going to downvote me for saying this, but because JavaScript's built-in batteries are so weak, everyone re-invents them all the time in slightly different ways.

  - How do you build a Rust project? With cargo
  - How about the Go project? With the Go tool
  - How do you build a backend JavaScript project? - node, yarn (with different incompatible yarn versions), bun, and 5 other types of tools

I manage a 100+ engineer team, and any time an engineer complains about our Python stack being unwieldy, I propose they work on frontend tooling for a week.

JavaScript tooling makes Python tooling fragmentation look sane.
