I hope that whatever solutions we come up with to handle the too-many-dependencies problem don’t stifle people’s motivation to create and share new packages. It’s not a given that useful libraries are going to exist. Too much friction and people will just stop sharing code.

I think it is an issue that’s on a lot of people’s minds, and it is worth thinking about. I just don’t want the cure to be worse than the disease.

We’re already starting to see Rust libraries advertise few dependencies, so I don’t necessarily agree that we aren’t thinking critically about the problem.
