There is usually a gotcha when setting up a new environment. IMO it works frictionless when you are on linux. Android studio installs sdk and ndk so it's like cheating. Linux provides everything to write some c++. Pyenv can easily install whichever python environment you want. Then you can use venv/poetry/pipenv. Snaps can help set up java and kotlin instantly. Spring boot has a website to download a starting template. rvm for ruby, just setting up some environment variables is enough for go, rustup and cargo for rust, etc. Elixir just works out of the box. I don't know how hard the next thing will be.
Do you have an example of a setup you got stuck on for hours?
