    Sure, but when was the last time you saw, say, a Python project using some third-party library instead of simply calling isnumeric() from the standard library?

        And let’s not talk about C++…

        Don’t worry, people make plenty of jokes about C++ too.

        Hell, people joke about my favourite language too - Cargo build times are a meme unto themselves.

        I don’t think there’s a truly great dependency management system there. Though all in all, I’ve generally had no MAJOR issues with Cargo, Maven or Gradle.
