amos“every rust project has a billion dependencies”
oh no they made code composable oh nooooooo should we call someone??
rust has a lot of problems, but let me tell you: “micro libraries” isn’t one
splitting packages per concern is good for build performance, it’s good for review, it’s good for API evolution.
the problems are technical (compiler perf), financial (funding OSS), human etc.
Pär Björklund@fasterthanlime the problem starts when your dependencies start to depend on different basic things like time/date and now you ship 3-4 incompatible libraries that does the same thing.
