Package Manager for Markdown

I'm working on a project that is intended to encourage folk to make markdown text files which can be bundled together in different bundles of text files using a package manager.

Question for coders; Which package manager would you suggest I use?

Main criterias (in order) are:

1. Easy for someone with basic command line skills to edit the file and update version numbers and add additional packages.

2. All being equal, more commonly and easy to setup is preferred.

my final project as part of my tenure at Microsoft, aside from that NPM patch (lol), is this lil' guy: github.com/microsoft/libsyncrpc

Just a small, but v v fast IPC lib that lets you make synchronous calls to a child process from node, while the child can execute callbacks from you before you return.

I optimized the everloving shit out of this thing, and it ended up being fast enough that the #TypeScript team will be able to use it for the thing that will let you use the Go typescript compiler from JS: you'll just be calling out directly to a Go child.

Literally hundreds of thousands of ops/s :)

@jean_dupont The function std::iter::repeat_n was added to stable (non-nightly) Rust in version 1.82.0, so if your cargo is complaining about these functions still not being stable, have you checked whether you need to update your version of Rust?

You might just need to execute `rustup update` to move yourself to the latest version of Rust so that you can compile these functions without error.

Today I read on slashdot that it took #rust ten years to arrive at an official language specification. Don’t get me wrong, I have no negativity towards the language, but I do believe a late spec to be a design smell.
