gobo's a neat idea. I for one really like that its package management can have multiple packages without conflicts etc.

I think the only other I can think of like this is probably nix or spark and nix really wants to learn a new language so it has some friction but nix is a neat idea too

I think not many people know this but how tinycore packages work are really fascinating as well and its possible I think to have this as well by just downloading the .tcz and manually running it since it actually mounts the code to a squashfs mount loop, I am not familiar with the tech but removing applications and adding them can be just about as easy as deleting and adding files when one thinks about it.

Does anybody know some more reference pointers to a more smooth/easy way of not having to deal with dependency management etc.

I think that mise for programming languages is also another good one. Appimages/zapps are nice too for what they are worth. Flatpak's a little too focused on gui section for my liking though. Its great that we have flatpak but I dont think its just the right primitive for cli applications that much
