100% agree.

Coming from the scientific computing realm, I've only ever done "real" code in Python until a couple of weeks ago when I was forced to do some work in Typescript. Once I got over the initial worries about the best method to install npm to avoid Python-esque problems and gave nvm a try, I was very pleasantly surprised by the package management process and was able to just get on with the work.

I've tried various Python env management solutions in the past (mostly leaning towards conda), but had recently settled on just using separate LXC/LXD containers for each project.
