Some Rust dependency bloat is pretty common, because a lot of idiomatic approaches are hidden behind dependencies. I don't think it's particularly crazy in this situation. The actual dependencies directly used are relatively lean: crossterm = "0.24.0" dirs = "4.0.0" regex = "1.5.4" serde_json = "1.0" serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["rc"] } textwrap = "0.14" unicode-segmentation = "1.7" I guess one could write their own textwrap and probably also dirs, but other than that they all are probably vital to this tool. The only reason this wouldn't be a problem in another language would be because that language already includes the functionality of such libraries
