Brad, Country-size tire fire. That's funny. But your statement is 100% true. Every dependency in the node ecosystem and on NPM seems to have a hundred and one sub-dependencies, which each in turn have a hundred and one more. It would be most efficient to write a CLI application in something like C, Rust, Go, Nim, or something similar. This starter project is less about the "best and optimal way of building CLI applications" and more about "building CLI applications with TypeScript". Many developers feel at home with TypeScript and this just puts everything in one place to enable them to build CLI applications with the language they love, and the rich NPM package ecosystem they depend on. Thanks for your comment!
