Golang / go mods.

It uses Minimum Version Selection to avoid lockfiles and is part of getting to 100% reproducible builds. The code base for mods is impressive too, so much thought around security.

I would guess assembly language since it uses the machine's instructions.

I think for the higher languages it depends. A lot of IDEs make dependencies easier manage than the language on it's own.

Node.js seems to have a very good ecosystem. Compared to say python, I come across very few problems with dependency locking and setting up on multiple devices
