lack of a proper system package management for C libraries in Windows. I hope that something like Chocolatey will become the de-facto standard on Windows in the foreseeable future.
I woudn't hold my breath (yet). Packaging systems are barely mature enough to offer satisfactory support simplified use cases like single ABI (Linux package managers) or single programming language (Cabal, Maven, SBT). Throwing in mixed-language support can be made to work easily (even Maven does this, in a half-assed way), but making it work well is still a "need more experience" topic. Regards, Jo
