> Having 1000 dependencies sounds crazy to me!
I was thinking that too, but then I did a quick check of a few of my Java services for work, and many of them have more than 400 dependencies (most transitive, of course), with a few getting up to 600.
Obviously comparing Java and Rust is not exactly apples to apples, but I rarely care much about the number of dependencies in my Java projects, so I guess I shouldn't be too worried about Rust projects either (aside from link time, I guess, which javac doesn't have to do).
