"C is not a new dependency" To just use a library, rust isn't much of a dependency, either. It's designed so you don't even need to know that it's not C. Rust would obviously be a build dependency, but that's lessened somewhat because it tries to make cross-compilation easy. (But this point does apply to pretty much any other language. Curl would not be used as widely if it depended on the Go runtime, for instance.)
