Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I observe that there doesn't appear

Or is there?
No, there isn't.
I'm talking about something as easy to use as R's CRAN,
install.packages("rforest")
or cpan for perl, ctan for latex, dpgk/apt for debian, cabal for Haskell/
Hackage, etc.
If there's not a commonly utilized one currently, perhaps we could
"borrow" cabal, with a trivial port. cabal is Haskell's package manager.
Not only does having a standard package install system facilitate
adoption, it greatly facilitates code sharing and library maturation.
Yes, we need it badly.
I think it's a good moment to start a discussion. First off, what exactly do we
want from a package management system?
Yah, would be great. It would be awesome if an expert in e.g. apt would
join D and create the design of a package management system.
