Maybe I didn't communicate my point clearly. I cannot just go out and get whatever dependencies I want to use. It isn't possible. What I have on the system is what I've got, and I can't add anything. I cannot put the dependencies on the system by any means.

Thus a lot of things get done in Python and Java, because of the ample standard libraries. I was able, after a year of lobbying and procedures and approvals, to get a Rust compiler, but there is zero chance of me ever getting anything off crates.io.
