> I think a main point that needs to be addressed is separating dub into 2 systems, one for package management, one for being a robust build system.
If the goal is to have a robust and capable build system, several mature
and language-agnostic tools already exist. The main reason for the
widespread use of dub over these other systems is precisely because dub
is also a package manager -- it makes it easier to manage lots of
dependencies. It's a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist. This
state of affairs has not gone unnoticed by regulators either (e.g. the
supply chain due diligence provisions of the EU's CRA).
