Plans for a package manager?
Are there any plans to implement a package manager for mojo like pip/pypi, nuget, npm, etc?

I think it would be better to have a decentralized system like the way Apple has with the SPM. There is a public index, but the packages themselves are hosted individually, like in a Github repo.
One thing to take into consideration for Mojo package manager when it happens is supply-chain attacks which were used recently in PyPI.
I'm working on this. Please have a look at https://github.com/mojopaa/mojo_muse

@Chris Lattner hi, Chris.
Since the release of Mojo v.0.6, which is pretty awesome.
Are there any plans to design a Mojo package management tool? (like rust cargo )
Personally, I think the community is in dire need of package management tools at the moment.

Hi @AkaHenry we don't have concrete plans right now, but it's a clear need, and I'm sure it's importance will only escalate over time. We'll figure it out at some point and share a proposal whenever it starts to bake
Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to the arrival of package management tools. š
Is there some interim solution people are using?
Make a github repo and share the link in projects. Not ideal but there is no point in half measures when the language is still so new.
I think delegation to github depot URL links and possibly even import in the code itself using the url is the way to go, but just my opinion. Others could still write web sited with recommended pages et rest.
a hack usage:
- Put the compiled
xxx.mojopkg into the mojo standard library path to get vscode's smart completion hints. š

go vendor ( go early package management solution).Here are some common commands:

mod init:a. create a temporary directory called
vendor/target/deps in project. (in a .gitignore file)
b. create a configuration file mod.toml (similar to rust cargo.toml)2.
mod add xxx:
git clone package's source codes into the vendor/ directory,3.
mod hack package xxx:
build the xxx package into xxx.mojopkg, and copy it to the .modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/lib/mojo'directory.
This way vscode can autocomplete it. (a hack usage)4.
mod hack remove xxx,
remove xxx from .modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/lib/mojo.

x directory in .modular/pkg/packages.modular.com_mojo/lib/mojo, and support searching for mojopkg in this directory, so as to avoid confusion with the mojo standard library. (x is also the directory name of the Go early storage plugin libs).PyPI

hi, all.
I have written a package management tool called
Mod for Mojo (WIP).
The mod new command has been implemented so far.
Other commands are still under development.
Feel free to join in the development if you're interested.

And then share the .mojopkg.
