Same with Ruby at this point. Someone needs to create a new RubyGems without all the c. 2009 abandonware shit.

At least with Java, many of the cornerstone packages have a corporate sponsor maintaining them.

Perl. CPAN has been around for a long time and has some packages in it that are older than other languages' entire repositories, I swear.

Isn't the usual approach to just include every single one of them anyway?
