Over a few days I wrote a bunch of #C++, #Rust, #Haskell, and #Python. Something I don’t get is that while I might say that Python has the most extensive ecosystem, it seems to have the worst tooling in terms of package management and LSP features (clangd, rust-analyzer, hls, and pylsp). How does that happen? Why don’t the economics that plow programmer hours into Python libraries raise the level of its tooling?
