conda started off as a python package manager, but is not limited to them anymore; it will build and install anything for which it has a recipe: LLVM, python itself, C libraries, R packages, it doesn't matter, all is put at the same level (Travis described it as a 'cross-platform homebrew'). The build framework [1] doesn't actually look much different from what we do with spkg's.
