You cannot defend Rust if this is reality.
Any Rust project I have ever compiled pulled in over 1000 dependencies. Recently it was Zed with its >2000 dependencies.
I think it's justified for Zed. It does a lot of things.
Zed isn’t special, I doubt Sublime Text has thousands of dependencies. It’s a language/culture problem.
Edit: Ghostty is a good counter-example that is open source. https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/tree/main/pkg
