The original comment might have been said in jest, but it would be 
interesting and useful that a package manager would be written in a 
generic way that would allow it to be adapted to different languages. 
It's just good architecture, since a chunk of the functionality of the 
package manager is language independent anyways (version and dependency 
management).
