If you particularly want to replicate the common C situation where your dependencies are in-tree or you just don’t have external dependencies and write everything yourself then you are totally welcome to do that, even with Cargo. Nobody is forcing you to use external dependencies. If your problem is other people writing software with external dependencies, then I guess you have different priorities to them.
- nyanpasu64 4y agoMy problem is dependencies taking on dependencies taking on hundreds of dependencies, making it more difficult to find a self-contained dependency which solves a problem, compared to C++ (outside of Boost or ffmpeg and such).
- cillian64 4y agoThat’s fair, and I hope we see crates being more considerate over what deps they pull in (or people making alternatives with minimal dependencies).
