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.

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.

My sense is that is only a recent development, and it has only come up because people are starting to make noise about it. IMO anyway. We need to keep encouraging folks to think critically about bringing in dependencies.
