  • A good dependency manager for a new programming language?

    They don't matter, since the package manager is entirely concerned with files. The Futhark package manager was actually ported to SML in the form of smlpkg. How those files are made available to the compiler is not the problem of the package manager. In SML's case, it's done with MLB files (which are part of the packages).

  • How should I build a package manager?

    I wrote a package manager that sounds similar to what you are proposing. An important design criteria was that it was easy to understand and simple to implement, even at the cost of some clumsiness in use. I wrote about the design before and after I implemented it. It is based on a cut-down version of Go's package manager, and has itself served as the basis for a package manager for SML.

    The bricklayer IDE and bricklayer-lite are SML IDEs FWIU [1]. Could Millet and/or the SML/NJ Jupyter kernel [2] be useful for creating executable books for learning?

    [1] https://bricklayer.org/level-1/ :

    > Bricklayer libraries provide support for creating 2D and 3D block-based artifacts. Problem-solving and math are used to exercise creative and artistic skills in a fun and innovative environment. Bricklayer integrates with third-party software including: LEGO Digital Designer, LDraw, Minecraft, and 3D Builder (LeoCAD; `dnf install -y leocad`)
