100% agreed. Whenever I touch npm or pip, I see why Maven (and Gradle) and the Java ecosystem are good the way they are.

Maven Resolver Ant Tasks 1.6.0 is soon out. With a huge contribution. This awesome change makes Ant Tasks "feature complete", and it will make Ant users empowered, and also ease the possible transitioning between Ant and Maven. Also, AntBuilder really opens the door to further possibilities! #maven

Apache Maven downloads were changed to wrong URLs · Issue #730 · sdkman/sdkman-db-migrations
Original issue: apache/maven#2471 This PR seem related #724 What is mystery to me, is that 3.9.9 download URL, that was correct, somehow changed to DLCDN?

Honestly I learned the most (and became a much better dev) when I reinvented the wheel.
Built a (simple) ORM instead of just using NHibernate (was a mistake.) Implemented own sorting algo thinking it would do better than built in (it did not.) Built own charting library. Etc
All were worth it!!

Great post by Matthias Endler.
It helps understanding how wheels work, how you can fix them when broken, how to make better wheels if really needed, or how to find creative use cases for wheels by thinking outside the box.
