that's what I mean, they haven't had any massive break in backwards compatibility for a while. I did get annoyed by it before and attempted to create my own language/platform - if need be, I have a basic setup of imgui/chibi/c-ffi that I could expand into something useful for scripting that isn't likely to break, but honestly it's such a massive amount of work compared to a conda env so I don't mind sticking with python for now. there's also micromamba which is a lot faster for the solver.

I can't hear you over the sound of pycache directories getting created just anywhere a .py file happens to exist. What genius thought that was even remotely sane? :) You can't hear but I'm being more lighthearted now but really I have no use at all for that shit language.

(yes I know it's configurable, but it also only behaves reasonably when & where that config is in place, not by default. It's opt-out vs opt-in)
