So you can now shoot yourself in the foot with both Python and JavaScript package management?

Javascript's package management is so much better than Python's IMO...

I believe that's the joke, the two package systems have orthogonal nightmares

An alternative is metacall. The example in the readme is about calling Python from Javascript, but it also works with other languages, like Ruby, C#, Java, and other languages

https://github.com/metacall/core

List of supported languages here https://github.com/metacall/core/blob/develop/docs/README.md...

In the future, maybe webidl (or extensions of it) will bring interoperability between languages too. At the moment there is https://mozilla.github.io/uniffi-rs/ for interoperability between Rust and a number of languages (basically the ones mozilla needs: Swift, Kotlin, Javascript)

The organization name "denosaurs" very roughly works for a combination of deno and python too: snakes fall into the clade of Lepidosaurs. Dinos are Archosaurs. I wonder if there's another programming language featuring a reptile. What's this "Lizard" language Duckduckgo's telling me about?

Xahlee features a lizard for Common Lisp on his webpage:

I had missed this message but have to say I love the expression "orthogonal nightmares", really captures it well :)
