Where's conda?

So this is literally monetisation [1] based on the work of Homebrew [2]?

It's not aimed at people browsing the web and playing FSPses though, is it?

There are 7 days in each week.

Why not order your takeaway from a good Indian restaurant? All the ones around here provide such a service.

Drink 4 cups of coffee a day (decaf may be ok) and eat 200g or more of tree nuts per week.

And the notion that a garbage collector should ever be part of a game engine (or anywhere near it) is frankly baffling to me.
.. unless you're making some turn based thing.

I don't understand the nature of your discourse. You agreed that maintaining software distros is not easy, some recommended conda and you seem dismissive again?

We are a rolling Software Distribution and providing up to date software is one of our main goals.
Another is building that software with good security flags, see: https://www.anaconda.com/blog/developer-blog/improved-securi...
We also keep track of CVEs in our software and actively look for patches (e.g. pycrypto is dead now but Debian maintains patches to fix reported CVEs) or write our own (though usually to fix build-system bugs rather than security issues).
But yes, static linking and leaving software building to non-experts using whatever tools they like (without studying anything to do with low-level binary security or how to achieve that), statically linking insecure (some time to become old) libraries is far from ideal.
Anaconda Distribution strongly prefers dynamic linking and shared package dependencies so we can update to address critical security issues without needing to rebuild significant portions of our stack.

It solves this already and has done for many years (but this depends on what you mean exactly by "the way that Nix does").

If this supported non-PIE I'd try to use it on Anaconda Distribution in a flash.

cold functions are also optimised at -Os.

And what is to stop someone from pushing malicious code to GitHub and you guys distributing malicious packages to end-users via your 'stable' channel?
And who's liable here?

This is very much the idea of these awful (IMHO) ways of distributing software. Bundle all of your dependencies, share nothing, expose users to the risks of exploits in the libraries you've bundled (and maybe statically so no one can even figure out you have done that).
Please stop this madness.

Glad to hear it. We take these matters very seriously, including good hardening flags etc: https://www.anaconda.com/blog/developer-blog/improved-securi...
