And all those 5 remaining dependencies have lots of dependencies of their own. What's your point?

Just defending Rust.

Mostly well-known crates like rayon, crossbeam, tracing, etc.

You cannot defend Rust if this is reality.

Any Rust project I have ever compiled pulled in over 1000 dependencies. Recently it was Zed with its >2000 dependencies.

I think it's justified for Zed. It does a lot of things.

		Zed isn’t special, I doubt Sublime Text has thousands of dependencies. It’s a language/culture problem. Edit: Ghostty is a good counter-example that is open source. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/tree/main/pkg
