The thing I miss most is a central package repository like Eggs Unlimited (http://wiki.call-cc.org/chicken-projects/egg-index-4.html), or the Racket Package List (http://pkgs.racket-lang.org/), or CPAN, of course. Sure, a bespoke package manager might be nifty, but a single curated list of packages would be a game-changer.In theory we have guildhall for this: https://github.com/ijp/guildhall
In theory, yes. But there isn't actually very much available in the repository.
In practice it does not provide a web interface for uploading packages. If you want to do something truly exciting, you could take wingos fibers and build a high performance web interface for guildhall with them.
High performance is not really important in this case. We are not talking about gazillions of npm packages.
This is something I’d love to do but I fear that it’s not high enough in my todo list that I’ll actually get it done.¹ Best wishes, Arne ¹: I became Freenet Release Manager a few months ago. That took away the last free time I could allocate to new challenging projects.
If someone had a realistic plan of building something like that, I might be able to contribute. I am not going to tackle it alone.
