interesting. I've no experience with Rust, so took his "2-300" at face value. It'd be interesting to run the same analysis on Go projects and compare.

- steveklabnik 7y agoIt's not about "face value", it's that you may only have three dependencies, but if one of those three has ten, and two of those ten have five, and so on and so on. The article is talking about the end total, the parent commentor is talking about direct dependencies.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoYeah, sorry, I meant that I misinterpreted his "2-300 dependencies per project" to mean the developer themselves had included 2-300 dependencies per project, rather than that was the final result of the entire dependency tree. Maybe I've seen too many nightmare JS projects where this is literally true ;)
