Well, your typical Rust project has over 1000 dependencies, too. Zed has over 2000 in release mode.

Not saying this in defence of Rust or Cargo, but often times those dependencies are just different versions of the same thing. In a project at one of my previous companies, a colleague noticed we had LOADS of `regex` crate versions. Forgot the number but it was well over 100

		That seems like a failure in workspace management. The most duplicates I've seen was 3, with crates like url or uuid, even in projects with 1000+ distinct deps.

Your typical Rust project does not have over 1000 dependencies.

Zed is not a typical Rust project; it's a full fledged editor that includes a significant array of features and its own homegrown UI framework.
