This is the dependency list of the just command runner

https://github.com/casey/just/blob/master/Cargo.lock

And the helix editor

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/Cargo.lock

Compare them to the dependencies of gnu make (pretty sure it’s only posix)

https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/blob/master/m...

And vim
