    This is one of the more important reasons to minimize dependencies and be very picky about the ones we adopt.

      Absolutely this. It almost seems like a controversial opinion sometimes, but microdependencies is a code smell imo. This could largely be improved by providing a more extended standard lib, at the cost of innovation and velocity maybe. I found this interesting: https://blessed.rs/crates

      IDK about you but the company I work for can’t live without npm packages doing almost everything. For example: the is-even package.
