straight.el as a classic example of overengineering in emacs?
I also noticed that this is what feather.el does to package.el. So elpaca looks like a straight.el equivalent to package.el + feather.el. It must be a hard work!

straight.el as a classic example of overengineering in emacs?
Interesting. I have written my own package manager too (in Nix), and I chose not to depend on straight.el, unlike nix-straight. The reason is because I do nott want to depend on the complex piece of software which is not owned by myself.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing feather.el and nix-straight.el you can also consider the following projects:
emacs-config - My configuration for Doom Emacs. Mirror of https://git.tecosaur.net/tec/emacs-config.
willos - Will's OS
