Still, it's a lot. Nor Servo reaches a number of deps too high: https://github.com/servo/servo/blob/master/Cargo.lock …

A quick exploration of two popular projects: Express (JS): 136 deps (no plugins) Iron (Rust): 54 (no plugins)

It's not like there aren't solutions to this problem. I have a feeling the Javascript community isn't set up to take advantage of them though, since it means you are one of many contributors to a good utility library instead of author of 50 small modules of your own...

Yeah, but unfortunately, I feel that the Javascripter's community is not particularly interested in address the problem.
