  📦🐈 Active development trunk for Yarn ⚒

  

Node.js manages dependencies using package managers like npm (Node Package Manager), yarn, and pnpm. npm comes pre-installed with Node.js and allows you to install and uninstall Node.js packages. It uses a package.json file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. Yarn and Pnpm are alternative package managers that aim to improve on npm in various ways, such as improved performance and better lock file format.

  Python packaging and dependency management made easy

  

You can manage dependencies in Python with the package manager pip, which comes pre-installed with Python. Pip allows you to install and uninstall Python packages, and it uses a requirements.txt file to keep track of which packages your project depends on. However, pip does not have robust dependency resolution features or isolate dependencies for different projects; this is where tools like pipenv and poetry come in. These tools create a virtual environment for each project, separating the project's dependencies from the system-wide Python environment and other projects.

  The Rust package manager

  

Dependency Management in Other Languages: We've discussed Python and Node.js in this article, but dependency management is a universal concept in programming. Exploring how you handle dependencies in other languages like Java, C#, or Rust could be beneficial. (I think Rust's cargo is an excellent example of a package manager.)
