I feel the same. A huge part of the pleasure of Go and Rust are that I never run into dependency problems. I'm happy to pay the "Hello World is 4MB" tax.

And the "I now have to evaluate thousands of libraries instead of 10 well established framework" tax?
I've seen plenty of bad go libraries. For example their authors will be unaware of isatty() so they will output control codes when piped.
If you factor in the time to find a competently written library (and quite possibly write one yourself) it starts to be less convenient.
