I was hoping this would be a discussion of Rust build times and how they optimized them with that number of dependencies.

But I think it’s easy for people to criticize dependencies from afar without understanding what they’re used for. I’m sure the dependencies in my projects would look strange to others - for example, I use three HTTP libraries: one for 95% of cases and the others for very specific use-cases where I need control at a low level. But without that context it might seem excessive.
