About last one - this is a bit hand-wavy metric. I can explain by example.
What you need to run a Ruby project. Ruby itself, Bundler (in Ruby 2.5+ it is included by default), and you are good to go. You may also need C compiler and some libraries, but not necessary. On average 1-2 dependencies, right?
What you need to build a C/C++ project. Based on my experience you will not get away with 1-2 dependencies it is more like 4-5 and all of them should of some exact version. For example, I tried to compile tree-sitter recently, here is Dockerfile
I need exact version of Ubuntu (not latest), exact version of gcc-5 and g++-5 (not latest). I need python, make, clang, ubuntu-toolchain-r/test. With Docker situation is better. Do you see what I mean?
Understood yes! I don't think you can escape that, after all "higher level" languages were created to ease the developer experience among other things :)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Agree on Go.
