I’ve been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.
How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

I’m surprised to hear you say this because in all honesty, pip really sucks as far as package managers go.
uvis a worthy replacement.I think this is talking about basic functionality, eg. can you do basic stuff with a clean install without everything immediately breaking
There’s a lot of programming tools that are primarily developed for and on linux, and “windows support” is an afterthought which will result in linux being a very frictionless experience but windows being a minefield of problems and requiring careful manual setup
Compared to luarocks, pip is amazing.
Maybe so, but pip is years behind package managers like
cargo. It really is not particularly good.Sure, and Luarocks is behind pip, and it really is particularly bad.
Today I learned about uv-package manager ; thanks!
